Northumberland County Council has reassured residents that grass cutting and weeding around the county is continuing after a ‘perfect storm’ of weather conditions.
The council said that this ‘perfect storm’ means grass and weeds are growing rapidly across the county after prolonged periods of rain followed by warmer conditions in recent weeks.
Greg Gavin, Head of Neighbourhood Services, said: “We have all our grass cutting crews out but because of how long the grass is residents might see a few more clippings left behind than usual.
“Weed spraying is either underway or about to start in all areas of the county so residents should start to see weeds dying back over the next couple of weeks.
“We want to reassure people we are doing everything we can to ensure our towns and villages are looking their best over the coming months.”
