I only have details for one county - Norfolk - but I think that we
can extrapolate from that. Norfolk cuts its verges twice a year - doing
inestimable damage to bird life.
It appears that they have now been persuaded to reduce to once
every three years. Hmm.
Cuts in late July would do very little damage to birds' nests, so a
balance between rural tidiness and the needs of birds could be readily
achievable.
