Scofell Commercial Landscapes Appointed as New Contractor to Maintain Public Spaces

Thatcham Town Council is pleased to announce the appointment of Scofell Commercial Landscapes as its new contractor for the maintenance of public spaces. The contract, which will run until 2028, will see Scofell taking responsibility for keeping Thatcham’s open spaces clean, green, and well-maintained.

Scofell has a strong local presence with members of the team working on this contract living in Thatcham. This ensures they bring a deep sense of pride and care to maintaining the environment in which they live and work.

• Grounds maintenance in Thatcham Town Council managed parks and open spaces
• Litter collection and waste management
• Hedge trimming, shrub bed maintenance, and grass cutting
• Pathway clearance and weed control
• Support for biodiversity initiatives and wildlife conservation efforts

Mayor of Thatcham Cllr Suzanne Adamantos commented: “We are delighted to welcome Scofell as our new contractor. Their strong environmental values and local roots make them the perfect fit for Thatcham. We are particularly excited about their commitment to sustainability and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will have on our town’s green spaces.”

A spokesperson from Scofell added: “As a company with team members who live in Thatcham, we take great pride in looking after the local area. We are excited to work alongside the Council and the community to keep Thatcham’s public spaces clean, safe, and environmentally friendly.”
