Spelthorne Borough Council are delighted to announce that responsibility for grass verge maintenance will return to Spelthorne Borough Council from Spring 2025
In 2023 Surrey County Council assumed responsibility for verge maintenance from all the borough and district councils, ending the agreement which had been in place since 2008. However, throughout this transition many residents voiced frustration with the decline in service levels and quality of cut which was leaving many areas looking untidy.
Cllr Joanne Sexton, Leader of the Council, said:
“Residents have been telling us that they are dissatisfied with the verge maintenance in the Borough and have noticed that some areas look neglected. This message also came across loud and clear in the recent residents’ survey. We have been lobbying to return this service to Spelthorne Borough Council for over a year and are thrilled that we’ll be able to restore the service that residents expect and deserve. For the moment Surrey County Council is still looking after verge maintenance but from spring next year, residents can expect to see a vast improvement.”
