Ferry Open Space Needing Care and Attention

The Council mowers had been out on Thursday cutting the grass on the triangle of land at the end of Douglas Terrace.  I commented last year about the rather poor effect of cutting the flatter section of open space one day and then coming back up to a week later to cut the steep banking with a different mower.

At the Environment Committee tonight, approval will be sought for the purchase of several new mowers. I hope that with this additional pool of equipment, it will be possible for all sections of grassy areas like this to be cut on the same day.

The flower bed at the same location is also looking rather sad. I have asked the Environment Department to arrange to weed and replant this. I have also asked them to fill in the ruts that were made in the surface of the grass (out of shot) when the contractors that upgraded the coastal pathway used this area for plant storage.
