Burniston Road grass verges

John Fareham and John Abbott have sorted delays with the cutting of Burniston Road grass verges. We received complaints from local residents to the effect that the verges were getting overgrown and that they had not been cut for some time. For all that we had been given to understand that the corporate centre had set up regular schedules for grass cutting, we nevertheless referred the matter to the officers with a request that they resolve the problem. This was just before lunchtime; within a matter of hours we received confirmation from local residents that the verges had now been cut. It goes without saying that we take all matters like this seriously and, in previous years, have cited the level of dandelion growth as evidence that something needed to be done. Equally, if we receive any further complaints about the state of grass verges here, we will take such steps as are necessary to rectify the position.
