Does anyone know what is happening to the verges in Bramley Green? They used to look lovely with all the bushes in. Now half the bushes have been chopped down and left and there are large areas of nothing more than weeds. It just looks a mess.
I think it would look much better if they were all changed to grass like the ones at the bottom of Rowan Way. It is all very well have a few lovely flower beds in the village for Angmering in Bloom, but surely it is the general look of the whole village that counts.
Not quite sure what you mean with your reference to Angmering in Bloom, the Parish Council decided and organised the changes to these verges, after complaints from residents about visibility, as per the comment from Nickr60 above. Think the idea of grass is better than throwing a load of Vinca at it and hacking down the remaining shrubs
I just feel that if the village is competing for the In Bloom, then surely it is important that the whole village looks tidy and presentable, not just a few nice flower displays. Planting more shrubs is only going to cause the same prob and won't get rid of the unsightly weeds.
To improve visibility from the side roads I would think. It's bordering on dangerous exiting Ashmore Av on to Nursery Road IMO.
RE the tall grasses on this junction. I emailed the Parish Council days ago who haven't yet responded. Are they the correct people to approach? This really needs cutting back before there's an accident. If it wasn't for the ridiculous likely laws in this country I'd take my own hedge cutter to it!
