Highway weeds – for your information

Oldham Council have recently informed me that the firm they use to carry out weed treatment on highways, roads and footpaths could no longer offer the service due to staffing issues. As a result the council have had to retender for the contract.

This has meant the usual summer weed treatment will be delayed until later on this year, which could see more weeds than usual across the network.

The Council expects that weed control will be back to normal by end of this year.
