Highway Verges

Carmarthenshire County Council are normally responsible for the grassed areas of verge at the side of roads. We have in place a schedule of verge cutting over the summer months which is designed to maintain road safety, ensure visibility, provide areas for pedestrians to step off the carriageway if there are no footways and to stop unwanted species establishing.

Our verge maintenance has also been developed to safeguard important areas of habitat with some areas cut early or later in the season to allow native species to flourish.
