You may see our Environmental Services team cutting back hedges and shrubs in the next few months, as part of their duties.

Hedge and shrub maintenance ordinarily takes place between 1st August and 28th February, in line with the bird nesting season. Hedges and shrubs are generally cut once annually during the Autumn/Winter maintenance programme, in accordance with the character of the area and to ensure the safe use of the town’s roads, pavements, parks, open spaces and residential properties.

Hedges are one of the most common issues reported to us. If you have a concern about a hedge or shrub that requires maintenance, please use our Report It system to inform us and we will ascertain ownership and take action where required - bit.ly/ReportIt_

Trees are more than

Trees are more than part of our landscape, they often become part of our memories. Perhaps it's the tree you pass on your daily walk, one that provides welcome shade on a sunny day, or one that reminds you of a special moment.

Which tree in Chippenham means the most to you?

Tomorrow is the final day to nominate your favourite tree. Everyone who submits a nomination will be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win a £100 garden centre voucher.

The tree must be located within the Chippenham parish boundary and visible from a public space.

Find out more by visiting bit.ly/CTCFavourite_Tree and submit your nomination here - bit.ly/CTCFavouriteTree_Survey
