Over the past month I have enjoyed seeing bees and other insects thriving on the thousands of clover flowers that have flourished on the communal grass areas of Shilton Park in Carterton.
It was therefore so sad to see West Oxfordshire District Council staff mowing these areas this week and cutting the heads off all these beautiful flowers.
When will our councils start being more flexible and thoughtful in their management of communal spaces and start doing all that they can for our hard-pressed bees and butterflies?
