flag A Worcestershire resident has urged the county council to halt its annual verge-cutting, saying it wastes money and destroys over 1,800 acres of wildlife habitat each year. flag With 5,000 miles of verges cut one meter wide, the practice harms biodiversity, disrupts food sources for insects, and fragments wildlife corridors. flag The reader points to other councils that delay cutting until later in the year, preserving ecosystems and reducing costs. flag While some cutting remains necessary for safety at junctions, the widespread, routine trimming is deemed unnecessary and environmentally damaging. flag The call aligns with local nature recovery goals and promotes a more sustainable, cost-effective approach to roadside management.
