Decision to be taken on any permanent amendments to the rural grass cutting policy, following this year’s trial. The trial gave the option of reducing the grass cutting service of rural verges to all Parish and Town Councils, of which 27 areas decided to take part. This change meant that rural verges (except for visibility) would not be cut at a time when flowering is often at its peak and it is the most beneficial time for pollinators.
