The Parish Council manages the grass cutting on land it owns and leases and other public access areas within the parish. The maps and tables below show the areas included in the grass cutting schedules for both Staveley and Copgrove.

Click/tap a marker, line or shape for further information in a popup window. If any marker, line or shape has an image, those images are displayed in a gallery at the bottom of the map.

Select the tiles icon in the top right to select a different base map from the popup list. There are a number of base map options available.
Some maps also have layer switches that allow you to show or hide markers, lines or shapes. If a map has this feature, the layers and their switches are listed below the base maps. This feature enables markers, lines and shapes to be individually removed to make a map more readable.
Select the target icon in the bottom right to locate yourself with a marker. This feature will only work if your device has a GPS service and that service is currently active.

The file will contain all of the waypoints for all of the currently visible markers, lines and shapes. You can control which markers, lines and shapes to include in the download file by switching the respective layers on or off. Select the tiles icon in the top right of the map viewport (close this panel first) to see the layers available below the list of base maps.
Whilst the panel is open, select More Details to display the map on a separate page. There is also an option to download map data on this page.

North Yorkshire County Council
North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) Highways are responsible for the maintenance of roadside verges. Their grass cutting policy is split into two: urban and rural. Urban grass cutting takes place on roads with a speed limit of 40mph or less, and rural grass cutting takes place on roads with a speed limit of 50mph or above. Staveley and Copgrove are both subject to the urban policy.
In April 2015, NYCC made changes to their urban grass cutting policy. Until then, most urban grass cutting has been provided for amenity purposes only. However, due to reductions in the money received from the government, they were forced to find significant savings in the highways budget. This means that they now fund grass cutting in urban areas that is essential for visibility or safety purposes only.
Harrogate Borough Council
Harrogate Borough Council (HBC) are only responsible in any village within the District, to cut the grass on their Housing areas.
