QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

To ask the Chief Executive if SDCC continues to cut the grass on greens of estates that are taken in charge or is it up to the residents to self organise?

REPLY:

The Council's Public Realm Section cuts the grass on CLASS 1* green open spaces which have been taken in charge. These areas are typically cut on a fortnightly cycle.  Grass margins which are either in front of or alongside houses are considered to be the responsibility of the homeowner or occupier to maintain and to cut. 

CLASS 1 * refers to large green open space
