A council blames unprecedented spring rain for delaying its grass cutting schedule after complaints.
A council has admitted it is behind with its grass cutting schedules after complaints from the public.
Redcar and Cleveland Council said it had encountered a number of challenges, including unprecedented heavy rain over the spring.One resident in Guisborough said the verge in Spring Lodge Gardens at Stokesley Road had been reported three times without action.A spokeswoman for the council said the unprecedented weather meant a two-month delay before its teams could even attempt to start its cutting schedule, which worked to a three-week cycle.
asked if the council’s adoption of the ‘No Mow May’ initiative and ending use of the weed killer glyphosate had been a factor in the current circumstances. The spokeswoman said: "We are trying to move towards becoming a more biodiverse borough due to the climate and ecological challenges we face. "But we also need to balance this out with how this will impact the appearance of the borough, so we will be reviewing the pesticide use and the impact of the No Mow May campaign at the end of the grass cutting season."Millions of tonnes of fireworks are set off each year to mark Independence Day in the US, causing air pollution to spike.
