We are pleased to confirm that each year we take part in ‘No Mow May’ for the obvious benefits to the wildlife.
As such residents will see some areas of grass, such as Hysopp Close open space, Havisham Drive open space, Friday Street junction with Thamesdown Drive, Wick Farm Orchard, and Blossom Park, near Angel Care Home and these will not be cut again in May.
There are many benefits…
• Wildflowers can flourish
• Benefits wildlife
• Reduces pollution
• Contributes to carbon capture below ground
Even the smallest grass areas can add up to a significant proportion of our land, which can deliver enormous gains for nature, communities and the climate.
Whilst we take part in this initiative, we are also mindful of how an area will look being unmown and how safe it is for children to play, dog walkers etc.
Should anyone have concerns about any area we leave unmown, please contact our Tidy Up Team on: tidyup@haydonwick.gov.uk
