I am replying to the several letters you have had about the verges and grass not being kept in pristine order. 

We are told that insects are in decline and we must do more to help, so why do people object to the grass being left to grow where is may entice more insects and bees to survive.

I am glad the Council are doing something about the climate emergency and not just talking about it. 

Just think what wildflowers we may see growing where the grass has been left and not to think how untidy it is but how many insects and flowers can you see?

The verges and banks should be cut where they join the path so not to leave nettles and brambles growing over the pathways and places where people walk, but only at the edge.

Surely this is not much to ask, to look at the bigger picture and try to slow the warming of the planet, some people think it is already too late but we must try.
