GRASS CUTTING AT THE ESPLANADE

Comments have been made recently regarding the standard of grass cutting along the Esplanade and Cllr Ken Moss has been looking into it.

Ken, who is also Cabinet Member for Parks and Open Spaces, said, "We've recently changed the contractor who looks after all the grass cutting in Hyndburn. It's a local firm and they're very keen but they didn't realise that HBC have always used high quality cylinder mowers to look after that particular area in-house to keep it in top condition. It's just a little teething trouble so the Parks Manager has had a chat and we'll be mowing it ourselves from now on as per usual."
