For the maintenance of the verges within the 30 mph limits, Enstone Parish Council currently funds seven cuts per year of the Parish village greens, Parish Hall grounds and churchyard/cemetery, as well as the verges.
As part of Oxfordshire’s response to the climate and ecological emergencies, and to help halt local biodiversity loss by 2030, councils across Oxfordshire, guided by Plantlife and Oxford University, have now adopted a new approach to cutting verges. From 2023 onwards, Oxfordshire councils are cutting verges fewer times a year to allow the wildflowers and pollinators to flourish.
Do you wish the Parish Council to:
(Required.)
Continue with this regime of cutting seven times a year?
Follow West Oxon District Council’s lead and reduce the cutting/strimming of the verges to five cuts per year to accommodate as much wildflowers/wildlife as possible while ensuring essential visibility for road users?
Cut the verges just once a year?
