IT SEEMS my trusty 40-year-old lawnmower may be getting an extra workout cutting the grass verge for a stretch along Moorland Road that intriguingly doesn’t seem to get cut when the lawn-mowing gang come to cut it. But alas, I think it would give up the ghost under the strain.
It’s quite simple: the lawn-mowing gang arrives and cuts the grass. Not so! They leave just the uncut grass verge on the inside path that runs alongside Welch Way, which in all the time I’ve lived here I have never seen so untidy and unkempt.
It’s almost four feet high towards the roundabout end. Mind boggling! In addition, the hedge has a gaping hole where a minor car accident occurred many months ago and it still hasn’t been tended to, again near a neighbour’s house opposite the Welch Way petrol station.
God knows, we pay enough council tax. Besides there’s a branch blown down by the wind further adding to the eyesore.
I must ask if is there a lack of communication between certain parties who instruct the grass cutters? I know for sure PM David Cameron wouldn’t be impressed to see such a fall in standards so please can something be sorted out?
