The team continues to carry out essential maintenance to keep gardens, paths and public spaces safe, tidy and well cared for during the colder months.
With the first frosts now behind us, the team's focus has shifted to staying on top of the fundamentals.
Grass cutting continues where conditions allow, alongside regular mulching, pruning and weeding to protect planting beds and support healthy growth ready for spring.
Particular attention is being given to path edges and steps, ensuring vegetation is kept back and surfaces remain clear and safe for pedestrians.
The gardens path restoration project is also progressing well.
This major programme of works, which began in the autumn, remains on track and is expected to be completed within the original timescales. Sections of paths have already been resurfaced and levelled, improving accessibility and long-term durability.
While some areas may still experience temporary restrictions as work continues, access through the gardens is being carefully managed and maintained throughout.
Elsewhere along the seafront, preparations are underway to protect council-owned assets from the wet weather.
The team will be raising council beach huts onto blocks, a preventative measure, designed to reduce damp and water damage during periods of prolonged rainfall.
This work helps extend the life of the huts and ensures they remain in good condition for hirers throughout the year.
Residents and visitors to the town should expect some minor disruption along the Cart Road as the huts will be moved forward toward the beach before being lifted onto the blocks.
The team will maintain access for pedestrians while this work is taking place, and the work will be undertaken during the annual beach hut maintenance period, which commences on 21 February 2026.
Routine tasks continue quietly behind the scenes, from regular grounds' maintenance to cleaning and checking hard surfaces, steps and drainage areas.
While these jobs may not always be visible, they play a crucial role in keeping Lyme Regis' outdoor spaces safe, welcoming and resilient during the winter months.
