IN response to the letter Cut the grass - please don’t!

We all need to do something to protect the environment and allowing wildflowers and grass to flourish alongside our roads can help the insect population.

Anyway, mixed grasses wafting in the breeze look lovely.

Councils are beginning to listen to local people and some are cutting verges only once or twice a year to allow plants to flower and set seed.

I heard a rumour Wirral Council was seeking advice from Plantlife, which promotes wildflowers on grass verges.

I can only hope that this is the case and Wirral will eventually be covered in poppies, oxeye daisies, buttercups and many more wildflowers.
