Cardiff City Council has announced they will not be mowing grassland in 144 sites across the city all summer, as an extension of their “No Mow May” campaign. The continuation of this initiative aims to help wildlife thrive, after it was discovered that approximately 97% of flower-rich meadows have been lost since the 1930s, and with them, vital food and habitat needed by wildlife.
Cardiff Council joined the campaign for the month of May this year, and has now announced it will be extending this practice until the end of the summer.
A spokesperson for Cardiff Council said: “To help support nature there will be no mow until September again this year at 144 different sites across the whole city, covering an area of grass the size of 272 football pitches.”
People: We dont want rates to go up.
Council: ok we will cut down the amount of times we mow to save money, it also happenes to be good for bird life, bees and such.
People: we want low rates but we want the city council to mow!
People: this sucks. I’m voting reform next time. let them bring mister musk over to destroy all our public services. i’ll still not get my nearby verges mown but at least i’ll have worked to harm those who denied me and hurt my feelings.
