Grass cutting being done at The Riverside Park Pathway route on Little Marcle Road
Case reference FOI2025/01695

Request
Today I noticed grass cutting being done at The Riverside Park Pathway route on Little Marcle Road. There were 3 men, one on a grass cutter and one with a strimmer.
Another was further down the route waiting with a vehicle. Given the very minimal work done by 3 Balfour Beatty contractors where the only grass cut was in close proximity to the mud line, please provide the cost of this job to the tax-payer.

Answer: The service area has advised they do not hold individual pricing for specific grass areas. Grass cutting is delivered as Market Town service packages, and therefore costs are not attributed to specific locations.
