Over the past few months a seemingly endless deluge of rain, the wettest seven months since records began, have left Great Sankey Parish Council’s parks waterlogged and our grass cutting schedule delayed.

Despite the best efforts of our team, the saturated ground conditions render any attempt to cut the grass futile and risk damaging the sodden turf and equipment.

Understandably this has led to delays in our routine maintenance tasks.

However, we want to reassure residents that as soon as conditions permit our team will be cutting the grass – staff will carry out daily site inspections along with other maintenance work while these conditions persist.

Just a little reminder to keep spirits up, “No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn.” -Hal Borland
