  • The last time the verges were cut was well over a month ago. The grass is now very high like before. We really appreciate when it is cut, but the debris left over from the high grass leaves a mess all along the street and blocks the drains and makes a mess on footpaths. I have seen you use bag collector devices at Coronation park which looks great. My question is...why leave grass clippings all over the paths and roads. This is fine if grass is cut regularly, but every six weeks or so isn't enough. My pictures show the aftermath of your last time cutting the grass. Residents are now starting to cut their own verges because we take pride in our local area. So I see two solutions. 1 cut the grass more frequently or 2 pick up the cuttings as you go. One more thing. The blades on your mowers require frequent sharpening. It was obvious the last time the verges were cut the blades may have been dull or someone put them on upside down. I am trying to be polite as possible as Corby could look much better if the verges and roads were taken care of. In some areas it looks like nobody cares and this will only lead to more rubbish on streets, more dog fouling, more vandalism and more crime. I am sure you are aware of the 'Broken window theory'. Thank you for reading. I am looking forward to seeing cleaner streets and roads in Corby.
