With the new spring, the Region of Durham has initiated a new weed control program. Regional Weed Inspectors will only respond to complaints involving agricultural or commercial horticultural lands. Weed concerns in all other areas of the Municipality will now be handled by the Municipality of Clarington. In response to this situation the Municipality has passed a new yard maintenance by-law. Starting this year, homeowners will be required to keep their yards trimmed to no more than 20 cm. in height. In cases where a property owner has allowed the lawn to exceed that height you may file a written complaint to the Municipal Law Enforcement Division at 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville and one of the officers will investigate.
