Fairfax Avenue long grass

John Fareham and John Abbott continue to work to ensure that Fairfax Avenue grass verges are properly trimmed and maintained.

We have provided the officers with photographic evidence that the grass is getting long – as evidenced by the amount of weeds to be seen in among the grass – and made it clear that we have, in our view, had to communicate with the officers far too often on this matter and that we expect to be informed that there is a regular schedule on which this work is done.  For far too may years, with others in control of the Council, we have had to be patient with the inability of dark forces at the corporate centre to take cognisance of the fact that – as those who are allergic to grass pollen know only too well – grass grows as long as this at particular times of the year on a regularly scheduled basis. It therefore seems to us to follow that an efficient grass mowing setup should be able to schedule work to coincide with the rate of growth of the grass and we will work to make sure that is exactly what they do.
