About this contract

Contract for the provision of maintenance and improvement works to the Public Rights of Way (PROW) network in the county of Leicestershire.

Much of the vegetation clearance will need to be carried out by strimmer and hand tools since many sites can’t be accessed with sit on plant, though some sites may facilitate ride on machinery. Larger hedge trimmers and chainsaws will be required to clear heavier vegetation.
