Common use of Description of Clause in Contracts

Description of. work The work consists of strimming / brushcutting / mowing vegetation from those paths specified in the Cutting Schedule provided. Generally trimmings may be left on site but where large amounts of vegetation result from works, chipping and/or removal from site may be necessary where on-site disposal is not possible. The costs and arrangements for such circumstances must be agreed prior to works starting. It is vital that the path is left open and easy to use after trimming is carried out and must not be left obstructed. Paths should be maintained consistent with their level of use and legal status (e.g. footpath or bridleway). As a guide: • footpaths should be cleared to a width of 1.5m (where possible) and to a height of 2m; • bridleways should be cleared to a width of 2.5m and a height of 3.5m. where the path corridor allows. In some instances, the path will be wider than this. Parish and Town Councils will be able to advise where this is the case. Where observed, effort should be made to cut back encroaching vegetation from the sides of the paths. As a minimum, it should remain sufficiently clear to ensure that a xxxxxx wearing shorts can easily avoid being scratched or stung by brambles, xxxxxxx etc. As above, bridleways should be cleared to a width of 2.5m to a height of 3.5m where path corridor allows. This will be left to the discretion of the authorising Parish or Town Councils who will be able to advise where this is the case. The actual width to be cut will vary from location to location, but as a minimum it should be sufficiently clear to ensure that a xxxxxx wearing shorts can easily avoid being scratched or stung by brambles, xxxxxxx etc, and during damp conditions walkers don’t get soaked legs from soft vegetation falling across the path.

In managing the South West Coast Path, we aim to ensure that the route is kept clear of vegetation at all times of year. The actual width to be cut will vary from location to location, but as a minimum it should be sufficiently clear to ensure that a xxxxxx wearing shorts can easily avoid being scratched or stung by brambles, xxxxxxx etc, and during damp conditions walkers don’t get soaked legs from soft vegetation falling across the path. • South West Coast Path should be cut to 50cm each side of any worn path, to provide a path at least 1m wide, with surface vegetation cut back to a maximum height of about 5 - 8cm, with vegetation beyond this cut in such a way as to prevent it from falling back onto the path (ie at 45 degrees).
