Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council

We last visited the roads listed below on the date given.

Our intended schedule for grass cutting work is to revisit the same location approximately 15-20 working days from the date of the last visit shown below. Crews typically work Mon-Fri.

We endeavour to carry on cutting throughout inclement weather and we will only miss or delay a cut if we find we are causing damage to the grass or if there is risk to crews or the public.

Our grass cutting machines are fitted with special tyres, to enable working on grassed areas during wet weather. Sometimes when the ground conditions are wet the disturbed surface soil appears to stain the grass. It might look unsightly for a day or two after a cut, but this soon washes out.

To find your street simply type its name into the ‘Search’ box.
