The City council’s grass cutting and other activities

AT a meeting of its Full Council on Monday, 26th June 2023, Cllr Annie Riddle, on behalf of the leaders of the Council, gave an update on recent council activity.

This included the council’s delight in seeing the beautiful Churchill Gardens used to such good effect as a backdrop for Wiltshire Creative’s stunning production of The Tempest.

The City Council’s own events were also celebrated from the coronation weekend to the recent motor show. Cllr

Riddle also spoke about the challenge of grass cutting following ideal spring grass growing conditions.

Further details of the council’s activity were provided in a report showing progress made over the last year to achieve the aims of the council’s strategic plan.

There are five key themes in the plan: A Green City; A Lively City; Your Voice Heard; Wellbeing; Looking to the Future; and a Well-Run Council.

The report showed how progress has been made over all these areas.

Cllr John Wells, who chairs the council’s Environment and Climate Change Committee, said: “The report reflects a tremendous amount of focused work by the council over the last year, and we look forward to reaching more of our aims over the next year.”
