Weed Control within South Gloucestershire Council Area

South Gloucestershire Council has a statutory duty to maintain its highway. As a consequence it has responsibility for controlling the growth of grass and weeds through joints between kerbing and surfacing to reduce potential longer term damage to the highway asset.

A contractor is required to spot spray all actively growing weeds within the footway and kerbs adjacent to the carriageway, including expansion joints of kerbs, inspection covers and gullies. The service shall consist of two applications of an approved herbicide of a no-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive nature for the control of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds.
