Caerphilly’s green spaces will continue to flourish
Posted on : 19 Jan 2024
Green spaces in the Caerphilly borough will continue to flourish this year, after its Cabinet agreed grass cutting regimes which promote biodiversity.
Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Cabinet members agreed to continue keeping mowing to a minimum on highway verges and bypass routes, in accordance with Traffic Wales guidance.
Visibility splays and sight lines on highways, margins and access on footways/cycle routes, sports grounds, urban areas such as housing estates, municipal parks, older person accommodation, cemeteries, play/recreational public open spaces, will be maintained at the current cutting frequencies.
They also gave a commitment to continue supporting the ‘Nature Isn’t Neat’ project and establishing joined-up green space management to create wildflower-rich habitats across the Gwent local authority areas.
A list of areas that will be left to flourish during the summer period was also agreed, along with plans to develop and enhance areas using wildflower seed.
Cllr Chris Morgan, the Council’s Cabinet Member with responsibility for Green Spaces, said “We understand the importance of striking a balance between encouraging biodiversity and providing accessible green spaces. The current grass cutting regime, which has been developed through community consultation, aims to achieve this.
“As well as promoting biodiversity in our approach to managing green spaces this will also help reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change; a commitment made when the Council declared a climate emergency in 2019.”
