Reported via desktop in the Weeds category anonymously at 12:11, Tue 1 October 2024

Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 6537645.

Ragwort has been growing over the summer period but it is now to late to spray the weeds as they are dying. The spraying programme is required earlier to quell and eventually eliminate the annual growth. This year growth has been unprecedented .

  • Thank you for your enquiry. Following a review on cost and effectiveness of weed spraying, we are not routinely spraying weeds on the highway. Instead, we review requests for treatment of weeds in channels, at the top of kerbs, in footways / alleyways (bordering a wall or fence), footpaths and link paths. As your request does not meet the criteria, no further action will be taken at this time.

    We will continue to ensure the location is safe through our routine safety inspections which are conducted in line with our Code of Practice. More information is available on the following link:
