During the spring and summer this year we have noticed that the quality of the landscape maintenance has been in decline and also that a number of tasks that were scheduled have been missed completely. Naturally we have taken up these matters with our contractor and over the next few weeks an improvement should be seen.
With effect from 1st September 2026 a new contractor will be taking over and more details will be provided in due course.
Please bear with us and be assured that action is being taken to get things back up to the standard we all expect.
UPDATE 27th August 2026:
A slight improvement in standards has been seen and some outstanding tasks have been completed, but it’s not as good as we would have liked.
There has been a disagreement about whether the full schedule of past contracted work has been followed or not… they say it has and we say it hasn’t.
Upon our instructions they won’t return this week – the last week of the contract – and they’ll issue a credit note for that. For now we’re withholding a payment for the month of August to see if we can come to a mutually acceptable agreement.
Our new contractors start next week.
