In progress
Grass and dead tree
Reported via mobile in the Overgrown vegetation in Council parks and green spaces category by David Minchin at 08:18, Tue 9 May 2023
Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 4530218.
1. The grass used to be cut every couple of weeks and has now changed to once a year. The vegetation looks awful with lots of dandelions and huge weeds. I couldn’t stand looking at it anymore so two people in the street cut it with their lawnmowers and it now looks so much better. Please can this but be cut monthly like the piece of grass is between Maesbury and Silbury Road. If they can cut that then it would only take 5 minutes to cut the strip in Maesbury. It has been cut for at least the last 30 years so please don’t alter it now to once a year. It wouldn’t cost hardly anything to cut so can’t be used as savings and is so close to the Wellsway we never get wildlife there.
2. There is also a dead tree in there right on the Wellsway which is very dangerous and in a wind could easily blow down onto the road or one of the houses which either way could be catastrophic and needs to be taken down immediately. People walk there dogs there and my mums house who is my neighbour and 85 years old is worried it could fall on her house in the prevailing winds.
3. All the trees are massive and haven’t been cut for over thirty years and for safety reasons they need to be lowered and pruned back please.
We all pay a huge amount in Council Tax and these points need to be addressed please. I look forward to hearing from you shortly with answers to all three points mentioned in my email.
Many thanks. David Minchin.
