SOME of the Vale's public open spaces should look better than ever.

Wychavon District Council's contractor, Bishampton-based Smart Cuts, Ltd, has splashed out about £40,000 to buy two new top-of-the-range mowers to replace its old fleet.

Wychavon client services manager Sharon Casswell said: "We are pleased with the news, which means Wychavon's grass will look even better than ever."
