To consider a report of the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration.

The Council is responsible for many kilometers of highway grass verges that are maintained on an ongoing basis in terms of mowing under the Street Cleansing and Grounds Maintenance contract.  However, the Council is receiving an increasing number of reports relating to damaged / rutted grass verges from vehicles parking half on and half off the verge or driving over the verge.

The report details the various options for the repair and prevention of damage to grass verges.

The Area Committee is recommended to note the report.
