What the hell is the world coming to? 2ft tall? Who is cutting these verges? Animals? Disgusting behaviour.

Terrible sight, full of buttercups, clover, speedwell and lots of other flowers. All those butterflies, bees, hoverflies and other beautiful pollenating insects must hate the sight of it.

The verges on the Nevill have been done this year, so they haven't given up completely.
Mind you, with the mix of sunny and wet weather we've been having, the grass seems to be growing at an alarming rate. I'm getting sick of keep cutting mine.

Buy stocks and shares in lawn Weed and Feed products. Councils are investing in them, that's why they aren't cutting the verges, so all those people who tend their lawns will be forced to buy those products to keep their lawns look respectable. No matter that the towns and villages look abandoned. We only seem to get three cuts a year now, one far to early, one not short enough because it's too long to cut properly and one when it's all over and far too late. Money wasted really.

I got bored of mowing the lawn so we got a couple of pet rabbits which are keeping the grass in check now. As a bonus they are unbelievably cute.

That would go down well with my terriers. They'd think someone had delivered them a take-away.

Financially hard-pressed councils save money by reducing the number of cuts per year. Cut the cuts to meet the cuts. Lazy councils don't bother to specify when these cuts shall happen. Grass near my house was cut 14 times, as per contract, last year, but none of the fourteen happened in May, when the contractor was kept busy by those smarter councils who do bother with the detail.

why cut the grass if its not needed, does it cause a visibility issue
to your house or junction or affect public safety ?
if no then leave it and spend the money else where

Surely the extra council tax that I'm and most of Lewes district are now paying for extra "special areas" surely should not be paying for maintaining the "green patch of land that has always been there" to be mowed !!!
