The whole experience with Idverde, the contractors for grounds maintenance at the Burial Ground/Churchyard and Malford Meadow this year, has been incredibly frustrating.
Despite promises from them to carry out the works and numerous requests from the Parish Council, they have come up with poor excuses, including “issues with staff and machinery and depots” and “never got on top of the grass cutting“.
We are hoping they will carry out 1 last cut in September and we will be discussing the matter at the next Parish Council Meeting on 4 October 2023 with a view to putting out new tenders for both contracts going forward.
Hopefully this will resolve the issues.
