Public open space in the Council’s ownership is maintained by ID Verde under a 10 year grounds maintenance contract.  The performance-based contract was jointly procured with Hastings Borough Council and AmicusHorizon and runs from 1 December 2012 to 30 November 2022.

£200,000 savings per annum have been made to grounds maintenance services as part of the council’s re-setting agenda including savings resulting from the discontinuation of the Park Ranger Service, changes in mowing regimes and the relinquishing of maintenance on land not owned by the council.

Tree works are undertaken under a separate arboricultural contract with Gristwood and Toms Limited.  The contract was jointly procured with Hastings Borough Council and runs for 10 years from 6 November 2012.
