Stop the world, I want to get off…….
Whenever the grass mowing teams arrive to mow the grass verges in Leeming Ward, they seem to pay litttle heed to the litter including beer and pop cans, plastic bottles and the like. They ride their mowing machines over the whole lot and leave sharp shards of metal and plastic around on the play areas with, apparently, little thought for children who might play there.
The following story picked up from The Mirror by way of the LGA website tells a vastly different story.
‘PLASTIC FLOWERS BANNED FROM GRAVEYARD - A council has banned plastic flowers from a graveyard on health and safety grounds. Keynsham Town Council officials say it could be dangerous if they get caught in lawnmowers and spray bits of plastic around.’
What happened to the ‘happy medium’? Why is there no middle ground?
have your say
