Harrow Council confirmed it will not take part in the No Mow May initiative, aimed at supporting pollinators by allowing grass to grow. Despite public support for relaxed mowing rules, council officials underscored that they prioritize resident preferences and aesthetics in maintaining parks. Cllr Patel noted they are promoting biodiversity through managed wilding areas in parks. PlantLife warns about the decline of flower-rich meadows but the council believes a comprehensive grass cutting regime is essential for community enjoyment while also supporting biodiversity.
Harrow Council refused to participate in No Mow May, affirming its commitment to biodiversity while maintaining regular grass cutting for aesthetic reasons and resident enjoyment.
Cllr Patel stated that while they promote biodiversity, a complete ban on mowing during May isn't the solution that prioritizes residents' needs.
