Grass / Weeds - complete mess
Reported in the Missed Grass Cutting category anonymously at 07:14, Mon 4 September 2017
Sent to Stevenage Borough Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 1101335.
Have been told conflicting information by Stevenage BC. Raised a form previously and was told you do not cover this area (although have done previously for years and maintain the grass all around this land) but have since called Stevenage BC and told you do cover it and someone would get back to me (which has never happened) I would like to know why you have been maintaining this land and are now telling me you don't cover it, and if you don't cover it... who does? This area is a mess and needs looking at. There are weeds 4ft tall! Land is to the East and West of Bray Drive and runs underneath the pylons.

The Homes and Communities Agency have confirmed they own the land but responsibility for the maintenance falls to Persimmon Homes. I have been in contact with them regarding having the grass cut but SBC are unable to enforce this. Persimmon Homes details are:

This area of land is not the responsibility of Stevenage Borough Council and has not been maintained by SBC in the past. The land belongs to The Homes and Communities Agency but maintenance is the responsibility of Persimmon Homes. SBC has been in contact with both regarding this grass.

SBC have been maintaining this for years. I have seen staff from SBC here maintaining it for years when they cut the grass along the roadside verge. It seems many local residents have witnessed SBC maintaining it in the past and all of a sudden responsibility has changed to Persimmon Homes?
