Cardiff City Council has announced they will not be mowing grassland in 144 sites across the city all summer, as an extension of their "No Mow May" campaign. The continuation of this initiative aims to help wildlife thrive, after it was discovered that approximately 97% of flower-rich meadows have been lost since the 1930s, and with them, vital food and habitat needed by wildlife.

Cardiff Council joined the campaign for the month of May this year, and has now announced it will be extending this practice until the end of the summer.

A spokesperson for Cardiff Council said: "To help support nature there will be no mow until September again this year at 144 different sites across the whole city, covering an area of grass the size of 272 football pitches."

The council where I live, started imposing fines to people that didn't mow loads in the summer because it was 'encouraging rats and other vermin'. Now they have been forced to U-turn as it is great for everything except a few moaners to leave it growing. Councils are idiots with nothing else to do.
