Tender description

Brighton and Hove City parks are a key resource for residents and central to the city plan in terms of quality of life, healthy lifestyles and supporting biodiversity. The city also boasts an impressive programme of outdoor events that relies heavily on the city green spaces. Inevitably, with the heavy use of green spaces there are some impacts from increased footfall and vehicular traffic on the green spaces that require timely reinstatement works. With in the region of 30 medium or large-scale events between May and September in 5 key city locations the impact on green spaces can be significant. Therefore, returning space to be useable to regular park users and ensuring the underlying health of the soil and tree roots as soon as possible is imperative.
