Sites of Private and/or Unknown Ownership
As part of the process of setting the Council budget for 2009/10, the Council decided
to adopt an efficiency measure which involved discontinuing grounds maintenance
on sites of private or unknown ownership. In April 2009, letters were sent out to
57 registered land owners of 59 green space sites identified as being of ‘unknown
or private ownership’ but which were currently maintained by the Council. This letter
provided landowners with an opportunity to make arrangements for grounds maintenance
of the green space assets contained within these sites by August 2009. Regrettably,
the response to date has been poor and the Council now requires to discontinue all
grounds
maintenance at these sites.
