Fao 'The Great Valerio', do a petition yourself if you feel so strongly about the parking and speed of cars, however it that was me, I would have knocked on their door and spoke to them face to face. Unfortunately I couldnt do that with the council but did get our local councillors backing hence the grass now cut. Action speaks louder than words. Happy to sign a petition as im not in disagreement just that this was causing an immediate health problem in our household.

concept good , but looks a mess surely there must be more appropriate areas for biodiversity.

Does the campaign continue until all the grass surrounding the 'neat estate' is cut (because cut grass is okay seemingly. Clue: it's just as bad if not worse) or is it just the bits near the signatories' houses we're talking about? How about the nearby fields? What about the pollen from the gardens? Or does pollen not travel on the wind. This is such an ignorant, lame campaign and frankly it appears to be more concerned about the look of wildflowers and grasses growing naturally. I don't like the look of some gardens. I certainly do not like the look of paved-over of gardens. It's appalling that these concerns seem to be more important than the idiots who park irresponsibly and continue to drive at dangerous speeds threatening the lives of our children. Get behind some real issues instead of this subjective nonsense. Unless you're one of the culprits of course; in which case look out for a new petition. I fully expect this to be deleted along with my previous objections. Democracy in action.

Looks like my comments have been deleted. Delete the comments that don't support you. Interesting.
Meanwhile the inconsiderate parking and dangerous drivers continue to cause a bigger problem in this 'neat housing estate'

Please cut the grass around the housing estate. I have no idea whether it does make hay fever etc worse but it looks messy around a neat housing estate.

All for conservation but not in the middle of a housing estate where children play. Grass pollen is one of the worst for hayfever suffers..

People are letting their dogs mess in biodiversity area without picking it up. Hay fever is severe & it generally looks a mess.

Common sense needs to prevail in this matter. The concept has my backing but the location is simply inappropriate.
