Highways repaired the road a few months ago and spread soil and wild flower seed along the edges. We have enjoyed watching the plants grow and flower, adding colour and diversity to a normally drab, boring, verge. Imagine our disappointment to see all the beautiful flowers cut down yesterday before they had a chance to finish flowering and set seed. What was the point of spending thousands of pounds just to destroy them a few weeks later?
