Crawley Borough Council is to invest almost £100k to fund the replacement of its ride‑on mowers.
Agreed in a council meeting last week, the £97,000 spend will ensure the local authority’s neighbourhood services team is equipped with more reliable vehicles to maintain Crawley’s parks and public spaces with.
According to the council, the new vehicles will support the sustainability of services by delivering improved fuel efficiency, as well as reducing maintenance costs.
Nick Hilton, Cabinet member for Environment, Sustainability and Climate Change, said: ‘This investment ensures our teams have the right tools to continue delivering high‑quality grounds maintenance across Crawley. The new ride‑on mowers will improve efficiency, reduce downtime and help us work more sustainably.
‘We are proud of the work our crews do every day to maintain the parks and green spaces for residents to enjoy, and this upgrade will make a real difference on the ground.’
