Seasonal Issues

Springtime grass
Landscape Services aims to ensure that all of our grassed areas are maintained to a good standard but sometimes at the beginning of the growing season, between April and June, the grass may be longer than we would like. This is because the grass is growing so quickly. It is particularly difficult if the weather is wet as this inevitably slows us down. During this period we ask residents to understand that we are doing our best to keep the grass tidy and be assured we are fully utilising the resources available to tackle this task in the most effective way.
Autumn leaves
Bracknell Forest has a very high density of urban tree cover. This has many benefits and most people prefer to live in a green and leafy environment. However during the autumn months the deciduous trees in our parks and open spaces will shed their leaves. Whilst for most people kicking up autumn leaves is great fun, we appreciate that for some residents they can present a problem. Landscape Services and the Street Cleansing Team are working together to ensure the most effective programme possible for the collection of autumn leaves.
The leaf clearance is done in two phases; the first in autumn or early winter and the second to catch any further falls later on. We are aware that some areas of Bracknell Forest are affected more than others. Please be assured that we do target these areas with additional resources.
