 Subject: Weed control.

Dear All,

Leaving aside the ignored requests for actions to clear blocked footpaths and cyclepaths from encroaching verges I wonder how long it will be before the weeds in the road gully’s join in the ‘party’ to block paths as well.

In so many areas of the city we have reached the same low levels of maintenance as Summer 2019.

I saw the ‘In Bloom’ volunteers in the centre of Dunnington the other day clearing weeds and if they weren’t active more of Dunnington would be like the photo below.

The traffic islands on Hull Rd, Bore Tree Balk, Kexby are now starting to match the road gully on the A1079 that’s blocked up with debris again.

When is the last weed spray of hard surfaces taking place and what chemical is being used in this ward?

Mark.

Regards,

Cllr. Mark Warters.
