FURTHER to the recent letter from Patricia Logan regarding the subject of leaving verges uncut (Standard, July 24), I totally agree. However, there is one area where the Roman Amphitheatre backs on to Cotswold Close where there is a large area of long grass. This area, which is not seen by the majority of people, has very long grass and as far as I can see just cow parsley and no flora.

I have written to the council as I wondered if some flowers etc could be planted similar to those at the end of the Four Acres Field and the wood. To date, no response.
