The Town Council contacted Livin earlier this week to raise concerns that as yet the grassed areas they are responsible for have not been cut this year.

We have stressed that the grass is very overgrown and making the area look unkempt and advised it looks worse as other areas that come under the remit of DCC and the Town Council are being regularly cut.

We were advised their contractor will be cutting grass in Chilton on 29th May.
