Clarification Questions

Q1. – Is it necessary to ‘clear’ for the bi-annual full mow if my equipment will mulch the material down to a sufficiently small particle size, around 1 to 2 inches.

Answer – If the equipment in use for the BiAnnual Cut and Clear of the JWG mulches the cut material down to a sufficiently small size so as not to hamper regrowth and the natural habitat, there is no requirement to clear.

Q2. The service spec includes litter picking and clearance. Please clarify your expectations in terms of fly-tipping?

Answer – Any instances of fly tipping should be notified to the council when found. You will not be expected to clear any fly-tipped items.

You can find out more about the challenge on the webpage: www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/src or on the facebook page: www.facebook.com/NorthamptonshireSRC

The challenge starts on the 10th July and runs until September, when children return to school.
