This is actually an ancient post, the term “lengthsmen” historically being someone who kept a stretch or ‘length’ of road tidy and in good repair. Things have changed a bit since then and these-days the lengthsman has a wide range and variety of duties include grass-cutting; drainage work; litter removal; tree, bush, and hedge trimming; planting, improving public rights of way, specific projects and much more!
We are currently seeking to employ a Parish Lengthsman. We will post further details when we have them!
