Grass Cutting

Grass verges haven’t been cut all year… how many times have you heard this said at the hairdressers or the newsagents recently? 

Local issues surrounding the grass cutting of verges in and around West Wickham have been raised by several people recently. This issue was discussed by the committee at their last meeting. If you’d like to report an issue with your street, the quickest way to do that is online, via Fix My Street.

How to use Fix My Street (FMS)

The map marker provides an estimated location, but additional information in your report description can help them to better identify locations. House numbers or lamp column numbers are very useful for officers and contractors and improve the speed and quality of their response.

Please note that they ask that separate and new occurrences of issues are logged as separate reports to avoid conflicting information or updates and ensure the information is passed promptly to their contractor. Placing several different requests on the same report will create delays.

FixMyStreet’s online reporting is intended primarily for those issues regarding defects or cleanliness relating to our streets and parks. For issues not immediately related to the street scene (such as those related to parking, traffic, road safety and domestic waste), they will refer the report onto the relevant departments and close the report in FMS.

Where additional comments relating to the original issue are posted we and our contractors look to respond where appropriate, however FixMyStreet is not intended as a question and answer exchange or for use as a forum.
