Grass cutting and environmental maintenance
The highway network is vital to the people of Somerset and the local economy. During the growing season we carry out a number of environmental maintenance operations to help keep all road users safe.
Our aim is to:
- preserve visibility sight lines at junctions and bends
- provide a safe area for pedestrians if there is no footway
- protect wildlife on roadside verges, where this does not conflict with safety requirements
You can find our grass cutting programme and information on our environmental maintenance operations here.
