Well... they didn’t just reduce the grass cutting they cancelled it when the Lib Dem town councillors voted to scrap the devolved services contract. Bucks Council has a huge landscape to manage and aim to cut the main highways verges twice a year. Under the Conservative leadership at the town hall we hired a progressive parks manager who increased the cutting regime everywhere across Chesham to 7 times a year. He created local jobs, actively managed numerous wildflower verges to enhance nature spots across Chesham and won contracts with other parishes that funded the team, their work and new projects. Now we have utter chaos, no ambition, huge council tax increases and no pride of place in our town under the Lib Dems!!! 😥😥 See less
