How tall is your grass?
I am not sure if it is me or is the grass on the verges around Ware not as well kept as it used to be. Are the council cutting back (excuse the pun)and not employing as many mowers as in previous years this also applies to the entrances to Ware. It's not very inviting coming into Ware from any of the main routes that surround us, as mentioned before a little landscaping would go a long way.
Anyone seen the mowers (I think it's a contract job) on a regular basis?

Perhaps they are going to wait even longer and then harvest it as Hay to make a few bob on the side

not only does it not look nice to visitors of Ware, but it is becoming dangerous in places. There are a few roundabouts in the town now that you cannot see the traffic coming round that well because the grass is allowed to grow too high and obstruct the view! Surely it would be sensible to get someone out there to do the cutting!?!?

I saw two people cutting the grass up at Wadesmill Road today near the A10 roundabout, so maybe they'll get around to doing the rest - just hope it doesn't rain too much

I would also like to make a point regarding dangerous roundabouts, due to the length of the grass and weeds being allowed to grow unchecked. At the junction of Park Road and Watton Road, next to the Worpell pub, there is a spit of land separating the houses at the end of Park Road and the road that was a gift from the esteemed employers
who altered the nature of the Buryfields for ever when they built our new tourist attraction, the Buryfield Way carpark. They generously allowed us to keep the beautiful chestnut tree as compensation for our loss (and their gain, as usual) does anyone remember the public meeting held in the Priory to let the town residents have their say on the plans to walk all over us as usual?
Anyway I digress.
My point is,as an exercise in total lack of consideration for the residents of Ware, the people who are supposed to maintain a safe environment completely ignore these important areas and let the vegetation get so out of hand that it becomes impossible to see any oncoming traffic from the right,when wishing to cross the road on the Worpell side of Park Road. Especially dangerous for any children who wish to cross at that point. Yes keep the tree but cut the rest back and ban high sided vehicles from the small parking area in front of the houses there also. This adds to the problem as well.
I am very pleased that one is able to discuss such important issues without being shouted down and maybe there should be a forum dedicated to the safety and wellbeing of the residents of this town that can be followed up by interested parties such as the local councillors and action groups. What do you say fellow wareonline afficionadoes?
