To Cllr Philip Whitehead: your December newsletter has come to my attention and I would like to refer you to my letter which was printed in The Wiltshire Times in September 2016 listing complaints about the continual grass cutting problems.
I also mention the very dangerous problem of broken glass bottles that the grass cutter of The Landscape Group known as Id Verde, runs over with their mower.
There is still a problem with weeds everywhere, brambles growing over walls onto public footpaths etc, which has continued, all year, until this day.
The reason no-one has written to the papers with glowing reports about Id Verde is because there are none.
Those who live in the Wiltshire Drive, Bradley Road, Boundary Walk and Silver Street Lane areas will tell you that nothing has changed in 2016 regarding the grass cutting problems etc, and that they are fed up to the back teeth with trying to complain.
Many of these people feel like writing to the Wiltshire Times (again) but because nothing changes with Wiltshire Council (and the ongoing problems) they have given up.
They are also very tired of the way their council tax money is mismanaged. Look at page 2 of the Wiltshire Times this week. How could Wiltshire Council mismanage £10 million?
I will leave you to read my letter which covers some of the problems that constantly go on regarding grass cutting etc.
While I’m on the subject, emails were also sent to Cllr Graham Payne in June 2016 from Ms June Hawker and myself complaining about this very subject which were then forwarded to Andrew Hampton. If you would like a copy of these I will gladly forward them to you.
So before you send out your newsletter for December, I think it would be wise to investigate the money spent and wasted on this latest Landscape Group, Id Verde, because it is not accurate.
Jennifer O’Neill.
