Celbridge-Leixlip Municipal District: 16 October 2020

Motion: Given the benefits of a grass cut-and-lift policy for supporting biodiversity that the Parks Department investigates with stake holders different options and costings in advance of the 2021 budget to enable this approach for the municipal district.

Report: Costs for cut and lift on some of the pilot sites will be made available to councillors once we have completed the cutting of these sites in the next two weeks. Any progression of this method to other sites will have to consider what sites are suitable for this, the cost and the benefit of it versus increased green waste disposal and carbon footprint.
