Councillor Dave Harris, Working for Colchester and Berechurch residents.

I have been writing to and fro to Essex County Council over the overgrown brambles and nettles along side School Road.

It was very poor, and the County Council said that it was not their reponsiblity.

I found that strange and made the point that if a child steps in the road because of the brambles and nettles, then I would be devastated if they were hurt by a car.

They eventually agreed to cut the verges back, but, after waiting 2 weeks, I went and did it myself with my hedge trimmer, as I couldnt let our children run the risk...

The verge is now cut back, and swept...

Thats cut backs for you !
