Liberal Democrat Campaigners, Councillor David Harrison and Prospective MP, Terry Scriven are calling upon Hampshire County Council to provide more resources to protect grass verges on housing estates.


Cllr. David Harrison has identified the issue for priority action at a meeting of the New Forest Hampshire Action Team, this week.

 

The group comprises of all New Forest County Councillors and includes the Leader of the Council, Cllr. Ken Thornber and Executive Member for the Environment, Cllr. Mel Kendal.


Councillor Harrison told the meeting “The very poor state of grass verges on many housing estates is a real issue.

 

The muddy ruts not only look ugly, but fill up with water and can turn out to be a slip or trip hazard.

 

The County should invest in more grids to prevent the damage and save the cost of endless temporary repair work”.
