I get asked regularly about the weeds on the roads and the Council have now drawn up a Weed management work programme (WMWP) which sets out how this will be done in a proactive rather than reactive way. <\/p>\n
The WMWP will follow a systematic deep-cleaning schedule across all 14 wards to ensure comprehensive and equitable service delivery. The work programme will: <\/p>\n
Follow a structured timetable, ensuring each ward receives planned deep cleaning to prevent excessive weed build-up. <\/p>\n
Use a combination of mechanical and manual removal methods, with dedicated teams and specialised equipment such as mechanical sweepers and weed ripper brushes. <\/p>\n
Be supported by the Cambridgeshire County Council\u2019s Highways Department, particularly in managing Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs) to facilitate operations in busy vehicle and pedestrian areas. <\/p>\n
Address initial challenges, such as the backlog of weed growth Page 212 following the cessation of herbicide use, which will require more intensive efforts in the early phases. <\/p>\n
The programme will require ongoing monitoring and adjustments, ensuring that resource allocation, equipment use, and staff deployment remain efficient.<\/p>\n
Let me know if you see areas needing urgent attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
