Grass cutting

Who is responsible for grass cutting in my area?

Please see the map below to view verge cutting and town/village grass cutting routes in Cambridgeshire.

When do we cut the grass?

During the summer months, usually between April and October, we have a grass cutting programme to maintain the grass verges along the majority of Cambridgeshire’s roads. This is county wide and based on average grass growth.

Towns and villages

Within urban areas and villages, we cut the grass three times a year. Our first cut started first week of April. You can find details of which villages we cut and when below.

Rural and principle road verges

On principle roads and road verges between villages, a grass cut is done twice a year.  Our first cut begins April 2019. Please see our cutting schedule below.

Grass near junctions that may obstruct views of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians are monitored and given additional cuts as required.

How can I report an issue about grass?

If you notice a verge where the length of grass is too high and causing a safety issue, you can report it to us via our online reporting tool.

Weed spraying

Cambridgeshire County Council is responsible for weed spraying in East Cambridgeshire, Fenland, Huntingdonshire and South Cambridgeshire. In Cambridge City, the responsibility for weed spraying falls under Cambridge City Council.
