Damage to Grass Verges
We will be reporting a number of damaged grass verges to East Riding of Yorkshire Council for repair. Please contact us via e-mail or via the Contact Us page if you see any other damaged verges and we'll be more than happy to report them for you.
Please note: East Riding of Yorkshire Council have advised the Parish Council that residents should not place rocks, bollards or similar items on grass verges to prevent damage as doing so hinders the summer grass cutting and may leave property owners liable should damage be caused to passing vehicles.
