I was contacted by residents asking when the grass on Byron Avenue would be cut.

It had been partially done but some patches still remained.

On contacting officers to check whose responsibility it was I also asked when it would be done fully. It has now been cut completely.

This land is maintained by Amey for the city council, although the verge along Cole Avenue is Highways.

In general, the grass is being allowed to grow slightly longer to reduce costs and encourage wildlife. Long-term, there will hopefully be some meadow and grassland in Podsmead, for example at Milton Avenue. This will encourage biodiversity. At a time when nature is under threat, this can only be a good thing.
