After “no mow May” the verges in Crescent Drive have been attended to. However the strimming was not done. We watched the man with the strimmer go along the road but he left so many trees like this all the way along, on both sides of the road. It really was a slapdash job. Please can a different strimmer come and do the job properly?

  • The Council’s approach to grass cutting and tree protection management was reviewed in April 2022. Further to this, our grass cutting teams are under instruction to leave a 0.5m circle around tree bases to create a safe buffer regardless of the size of the tree, to prevent mechanical damage. The uncut buffer zone also provides insects a natural habitat and is based on the Bromley Council biodiversity policy and new wildlife friendly vegetation management approach implemented across Bromley’s verges.
