I am writing as a ratepayer living in Dorchester.
I am so annoyed - whilst travelling around Dorchester and district - about the state of the hedgerows and green spaces, even on residential estates.
I live on Normandy Way; the green in front of my property is 3 foot high.
I cut my grass twice a week. Inform me if I’m wrong but the council I believe cut theirs FOUR times a year, using the excuse of butterflies and insects.
There is plenty of land that is overgrown for them.
We are also paying subsidies to farmers to leave land in a natural state for the animals and insects.
So please do not use this as a excuse for us having to live in such dire surroundings.
One man and a mower could cover so much ground in a week quite economically.
