The council is responsible for the general operational management and day-to-day maintenance of the various town, district and local parks distributed across
the area.
Each town park has a dedicated team of staff who pride themselves in delivering a high standard of horticultural maintenance. Mobile gardening teams regularly
visit sites to ensure that the defined standards are maintained at district and local parks.
The gardening staff ensures that the quality and range of horticultural features such as:
- grass areas
- litter collection
- flower and shrub beds
- hedges
- playgrounds
- outdoor sports facilities
are all maintained appropriately and that standards of cleanliness and health and safety are achieved by regular inspection.
