Grass and Hedge Cutting Tender

Grass and Hedge Cutting Contract

 

Westfield Parish Council has recently decided to take their urban cuts contract in-house previously carried out by East Sussex Highways (ESH).  The Council resolved to take this contract in house as these areas were only going to be cut twice a year.  Previously these areas have been cut six times a year.  Taking the contract in-house enables Councillors to have more control on the quality and if required increase or decrease the number of cuts in each area as needed.

Westfield Parish Council are now looking for a potential contractor to carry out the works.  

Deadline for any potential tenders is midnight on the 2nd March.
