Reduce the cutting of roadside verges and central reservations, protect habitat.

What the petition asks

I would like Parliament to discuss and vote to reduce the need to "tidy up" verges, central reservations and roundabouts. This can be achieved by imposing a ban on devegetation of these areas unless for a genuine safety need.

County Councils / Local Government can save money by stopping this process and at the same time protect vital wildlife, birds, bees, insects and mammals which rely on these habitats to survive in a time when we are concreting over many areas and building more houses on the land. the need to protect the ecosystem outweighs the need for neat and tidy.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
