The purposes of which is to reduce the number of weeds on said highways. The use of Glyphosate (or any other herbicides) as a method of weed control will NOT be accepted.

Where areas cannot be accessed the contractor must contact Newquay Town Council immediately to report what areas were not covered and why. The proposed method to be used must be non-invasive and environmentally friendly.
The total length of roads within the parish is 71.04 km (note: including both sides of the road would total 142.08 km). However, this contract will be undertaking weed control on a 'reactive' basis and the Town Council will not exceed more than 10% of the total length of highways within the Parish.
The Council will assess the hot spot areas within the parish on a monthly basis and review whether action will be taken based on: health & safety risk, impact on an asset of importance to the local community and/or tourism, the number of enquiries raised and budgetary limitations.
