Lot #1To achieve a cleaner more attractive borough, the council is tendering for a weed sprayingAwardedRenewal 3 yrs

To achieve a cleaner more attractive borough, the council is tendering for a weed spraying

service to treat specific areas of adopted highway across the borough to prevent the growth

of weeds likely to interfere with the highway e.g. create a hazard, cause structural damage,

affect drainage, cause a trip hazard or become unsightly.

It is proposed that the contractor will deliver three applications of MAFF registered herbicide

or other approved chemical as appropriate to Rochdale’s adopted highways as specified

above.

Application should take place as directed by Rochdale Borough Council’s Authorised Officer

but typically during spring, summer and autumn, at timings which coincide with optimum

weed growth.
