Two days into #NoMowMay, and the council has already sent out its brigade of mowers and strimmers to rid the parks and verges of dandelions and other affronts to 'tidiness' or whatever tf. Good luck to the dwindling pollinators
@stancarey it's so frustrating isn't it. We have a Green Councillor in my ward who has only been successful in banning pesticides and excessive mowing in parks. Apparently verges are the responsibility of the highways department & they are proving harder to convince, even though a majority of the community complain about it. My "revenge" is to let the dandelions run riot in my front garden. At least it's somewhere I have some control over my environment.
@Annekin Good for you. Yes, it's maddening – such a simple, life-giving thing to do, and it's beyond them
