Urban Grass Cutting 2026-27

This schedule shows current scheduled dates for urban grass cutting. Please note that these dates can change due to weather and will be updated on a regular basis.

Some towns and parishes have opted to self-deliver their grass cutting programme for 2025, as indicated below. If you require information for those towns and parishes who carry out their own grass cutting, then you would need to contact them directly.

East Sussex Highways currently provide 2 standard grass cuts for each town and parish. Those that have extra grass cuts have paid for this as an additional service.

Programme Update – August 2026

Due to the recent warm, dry weather, grass growth has slowed significantly in some areas across East Sussex.

Where there is little or no growth, we have temporarily paused grass cutting activities and are focusing our resources on locations where cutting is currently needed. As a result, some planned cutting dates on this page may now be shown as TBC (To Be Confirmed) while we continue to assess conditions.

We will keep the programme under regular review and update dates as grass growth resumes – check back here for the latest information. Thank you for your understanding as we adapt our service to make the best use of available resources.
