We are pleased to see that the District Council responds quickly to “FixMyStreet” .
On Sunday a resident in Downhall Park Way reported “Hi, The grass which borders Sweyne Park & Downhall Park Way is getting very overgrown and needs cutting.”
Four minutes later FixMyStreet passed it on to the district council.
The next working day (yesterday) the resident gets an email back from the council saying
Dear Mr……,
Thank you for your email. I have passed it over to our grounds
maintenance contractors, Connaught, with a request for the grass verge
to be inspected and cut back as needed.Kind regards,
The work’s not done yet, but full marks to RDC for a quick response.
It would seem you cannot please everyone. The ‘overgrown’ grass which borders Sweyne Park was over grown, however overgrown with the most beautiful wild Daisys. The link below was photo from last year.

Would we not prefer to see these flowers and see park lands in their natural state.
