Use the money paid by tax payers to cut the grass in Northampton.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The grass in and around Northampton is ridiculously long and is causing all manner of issues with our roadways. Drivers are unable to see around roundabouts and corners due to the length of the grass on verges and central divides. It needs to be cut urgently.

The council are broke (despite tax payers continuing to be charged) so they are neglecting basic upkeep such as maintaining our roadways and cleaning our streets. The fact that the town looks awful is bad enough but this is becoming real cause for concern due to the dangers it creates. Near misses and other incidents are spoken of daily due to the issue.
