Ayrshire council makes 'steady progress' in grass-cutting backlog caused by Covid-19
North Ayrshire Council says it is making steady progress in tackling the backlog of grass-cutting caused by the temporary halt of the service due to Covid-19.During the initial phase of lockdown, many grounds maintenance staff had to be redeployed to other essential frontline services, including bin collections and food delivery to help in the council’s response to crisis.During this time, only essential grounds maintenance works were carried out.With government measures introduced in late May to begin relaxing lockdown, the council, along with local authorities across the country, resumed its wider grass-cutting services last month.Initially the works focused on parks, promenades and main routes.
