In 2024, small scale reduced mowing trials are taking place in areas 5 and 6a:
- Area 5 – The Meadows – reduced to 7 cuts, with bluebells planted and further seeding to take place in the Autumn.
- Area 6a – Lilac Way – monitor the area with 7 cuts for the year.
These will continue to be monitored in 2026.
For the 2026 mowing season, East Goscote Parish Council has entered an agreement with Leicestershire County Council to cut the areas of land owned by them.
