The Council aims to provide clean, green and safe open spaces for the benefit of the people of South Staffordshire.

Grounds maintenance operations are carried out in partnership with an external contractor, using best horticultural practice and sustainable working methods.

Work includes:

grass cutting
litter clearance
shrub maintenance
shrub and tree planting
bulb planting
landscaping projects
landscape improvements
conservation projects
assisting with events
installing benches and litter bins
playground checking at some sites for litter, vandalism and mandatory safety checks
cemetery management
habitat protection and enhancement

The grounds maintenance team also provides help and advice on horticultural matters for residents in the community. Community groups are encouraged and partnerships with such groups are wholly supported.
