Subject: CYC Pollinator policy.

Dear All,

Further to ongoing correspondence on CYCs efforts on ‘dead flowering’ the central Hull Rd verge this is the result, in the middle of May of your actions;

A few patches of weed killed off patches, brown and dead - a completely alien scene in the English springtime.

Contrast if you will with the scene on an Osbaldwick residents back lawn of a large area of wildflowers that were sown last Autumn;

It’s all well and good CYC having a ‘pollinator policy’ if officers don’t want to implement it or haven’t the capability to implement it but it’s not ‘rocket science’ to actually implement such areas.

All involved should be ashamed of the mess created on Hull Rd, I’m unsure yet if the roundabout has been weedkilled off but that will no doubt become clear following the recent rain.

Mark.

Regards,

Cllr. Mark Warters.
