I just would like to report that everywhere in the area where grass has been cut it is a hazard for trips for people walking on the grass as it was cut when it was very high and there is quite a volume of cut grass which hasn’t been collected. I know this is the practice for urban areas but then I would expect it to be cut more often. Most importantly my dog yesterday inhaled a very dangerous type of grass (wall barley) which is everywhere when grass does not get cut for a while. I had to run to the vet, he was very poorly and bleeding and risked to choke. This put him in danger and it is my main concern in a way I know am worried to walk my dog because this could happen again. I had to pay 130 pounds at the vet to treat him and this is the least of my problems at the moment but I also pay a council tax and I am quite disappointed. I hope something can be done to make the area dog safe and not only for dogs. All that cut grass is also a fall hazard for people. Thanks for your attention and kind regards

    We can confirm that our grass cutting programme for this year has commenced.
