It is that time of the year again! Ipswich Borough Council's "weed busters" have begun work to control weeds on pavements and footpaths.
The team, which has begun in the north of the town, uses quad bikes and foot patrols to get the job done as quickly and effectively as possible. When you consider there are around 400 miles to cover, it is a very big job!
The Council uses an environmentally friendly spray which kills the weeds over a 10-day period, so the Council is asking residents to be patient while the weeds wilt. The weather conditions affect the job, too: it might be too wet and windy to spray effectively.
The team works from 6am to 6pm Monday to Saturday - so they will get to your neighbourhood as soon as they can.
