It should never have got to that stage. I kept well over 100m of public verges outside of my house in immaculate shape. There was simply no excuse beyond poor planning and execution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mulching mower is only effective on a regular maintenance, haircut/trim basis. It's no good when the grass has been left to last minute jungle proportions. At that stage it just leaves a mess of cut grass that still needs to be collected and tidied up. It's basic area and operational management that's lacking.

Seriously it is the new policy to let nature take its course and only trim the borders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that they have to work in groups of no less than two men on H&S grounds nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too much unnecessary cutting of verges and spraying chemicals goes on as it is. Although local authorities need to be taught that wild areas need proper management and it is not an excuse to do sod all. Ramsey must be due for another town hall soon. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
