This is a seasonal service
- Our crews carry out weed spraying twice a year. The first spray takes place between April and June. We follow up on troublesome areas between July and September. We may not respond to all reports. But, they help us find hot spots in the borough and areas to focus our resources. If you notice weeds growing very long during this period, you can report it online.
We carry out a weed spraying to make sure pathways and roads meet safety standards. We follow all pesticide regulations and codes of practice.
This is done in dry weather for maximum effectiveness. If it is raining we may not be able to spray the weeds. We do not remove weeds out of season unless it becomes invasive or a health and safety hazard.
Reporting overgrown weeds
To report overgrown weeds you will need to tell us:
- the location or address of where the overgrown weeds are located
- any extra information such as a photo to show the area of overgrown weeds
