S & V Edmondson Gardening & Property ServicesParish Lengthsman (Steve Edmondson)
In April 2025, the Parish Council contracted S & V Edmondson Gardening & Property Services to carry out Lengthsman services. This is actually an ancient post, the term Lengthsmen historically being someone who kept a stretch or length of road tidy and in good repair. Things have changed a bit since then and these-days the Lengthsman has a wide range and variety of duties include grass-cutting; drainage work; litter removal; tree, bush, and hedge trimming, planting, improving public rights of way, specific projects and much more!
Steve Edmondson under the direction of the Parish Clerk carries out the Lengthsman services on behalf of the Parish Council. You may see Steve, out and about in the Parish dealing directly with problems raised by our residents or else inspecting and monitoring the resolution of matters that are the responsibility of Lancaster City Council or Lancashire County Council.
