The grass verge next to my end of terrace property (54 the camellias) has not been maintained for the almost 2 years I have been living here and for years before this (according to my neighbours) it is now full of weeds, and it is difficult to maintain. It is expensive, I don’t have the money, resources and time to look after this grass area that I do not own but feel obliged to occasionally as it looks scruffy and causes weeds to spread onto my front garden. Who is responsible and why is this not maintained?
