Way Forward Nottingham County Council needs to: •Recognise importance of environment in residential areas • Differentiate between grass verges in residential areas and more ‘rural’ locations •Look at their organisation – grass cutting programme poorly run

Way Forward Nottingham County Council needs to: •Carry out planned 5 cuts and 2 weed treatments – Not enough but make sure they start on time •Think carefully before further budget cuts – People’s surroundings are very important •Finally sign the Lib Dems petition
