We now have "Continental Landscapes" in charge of grasscutting in Leeds.Apparently they were awarded the contract late last year to commence this spring and were here bright and early this morning. Got to say there's not the mess we got with Glendale on this (the 1st) occasion so lets hope it continues.

Partial change from Glendale last year and seemingly a complete change for this year then - yet to be seen near me.

We've had Continental here for some years and they always do a good job.

At least contracts are awarded on a rational and value for money basis here.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... ields.html
