Service Delivery Team - Serving the Community

Service Delivery Department

Saltash Town Council Service Delivery Department provides a range of services for the benefit of its local residents and visitors. We are responsible for maintaining a variety of public buildings along with open green spaces and the environment. This can include parks, play areas, and other outdoor facilities open to the public. Some work activities include the use of ride-on mowers, tree pruning and felling, strimmer’s for grass areas and hedge cutting. As the Services Team we also cover cemeteries, public toilets, allotments, public gardens, the waterfront pontoon, as well as events and celebrations.

No Mow May

The service delivery Team will be taking part in the NO MOW MAY in various locations around Saltash. We do wish to point out that this won’t apply to some areas like the cemeteries, however some areas, edges, corners or around the base of trees will be left to encourage wildlife and natural plants to flourish. We will also be looking at some re-wilding areas and wild flower locations throughout the year. This is a positive step toward helping the local environment in the Town and encourage anyone to try this even in your own garden space.

Gate repair at Church Town Cemetery

We have been working hard today to repair the broken gate post at Church Town Cemetery. Not the easiest of jobs but it will look great when its finished.

Creating wild green areas at St Stephens Church Cemetery

Over the next few months we will be trailing some locations to create some green areas to encourage bees, insects and wildlife. We have started this project in St Stephens Church Cemetery. We are looking to have more areas with wild flowers to add some colour around the Town.

Michael Stephens joins the Service Delivery Team

We have recently expanded the Service Delivery Team with Michael Stephens joining us. He has a lot of experience in ground works, general building, fencing and machinery and we are very pleased to have him on board.

The Team has also recently successfully completed a certified training course through Corserv for the ride on mower and pedestrian mowers. The staff are continuously monitored to make sure they are fully trained on all the equipment we operate so that we can work safely in maintaining Saltash Town and surrounding areas.

Getting ready for summer

The Service Delivery Team have been busy carrying out work in the Peace Garden preparing it for the summer planting, cutting the grass in the Honeysuckle Play Park on Pillmere and at Silver Street, the Brunel Bust and Churchtown Cemetery.
