We need to have a little positivity here and I still hold out some hope that they won't be as bad. It can also be done on a local level. Our council has designated areas that only get mowed once a year and some which don't get mowed at all, and it is making a big difference to the amount of wild flowers growing. I'm sure there are more insects too. Small steps do add up.
you are correct sir, I see many local councils making effort with their local area, and that is where attention should be focused I feel. hoping or expecting Westminster to pull the thumb out and do something is a fools errand.
