Grass cutting and weed control
Need some help with overgrown grass or weeds in your area?
Keeping our community spaces tidy makes them safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
Before you start, things you need know:
You may notice some small grass areas where the grass is being left to grow. In those areas we will make sure that people can still get to the footpaths and the borders of those areas. The rest of the grass will be left to grow naturally.
These changes affect a small proportion of the grassed areas in Wakefield district. The rest of the grassed areas that we manage will continue to be cut as normal so that people can continue to use them.
The environmental benefits from leaving some grass to grow naturally include:
- encouraging wild flowers to grow which will support bees and other insects
- aiding drainage to reduce flooding
To find out about the parks and countryside areas in the Wakefield district, visit our parks section.
Before you start, what you need to tell us:
- the exact location that requires the grass cutting/weed control
- if you are requesting a grass cutting: How recently the grass was cut
