Weed treatment
Weed treatment is carried out 3 times a year on council-owned footpaths across the borough.
Weed treatment is extremely weather dependent. When weather is particularly bad, this will cause delays.
Please note: It takes 7 to 10 days for weeds to die back once treated. The following dates are estimated and subject to change.
