How will feedback on berms be handled moving forward?

This situation highlights the balancing act we face in local government—listening to those who participated in the formal consultation process, where 88% supported cutting berm mowing, versus those who are now raising concerns on platforms like Facebook.

Ultimately, decisions must consider the views expressed during consultation, but we remain committed to listening to all voices and will continue to monitor the situation closely as we move forward.
