A spokesman for Lancashire County Council said: “We've been working closely with Morecambe Town Council to assess the scope of the weeding work needed in Lancaster.
“The value of this work has been agreed by Morecambe Town Council, who will be carrying this out on behalf of the county council.
“We are confident our agreed price is fair and represents good value in the current market.”
