I would like to point out to readers that P Gregory cuts his own front grass verge and that is why it looks clean and tidy.

I was present on the council walkabout last month and it was not only grass cuttings on Longridge, but on Shaw Heath as well.

When the three councils cut grass on the two estates there are cuttings everywhere and all over the paths leading to the houses. This is very dangerous for elderly people.

I personally do not know why the council cannot clean them up as they go.

When we lived in the Vale Royal area, their men came and cut the grass and picked it up as they went along. So I just don't see why these councils cannot do the same.

So I would say to P Gregory to go up to Longridge or over the road to the Shaw Heath estate and take a look for himself when the work has been carried out.
