Sandwell Valley - Health and Safety ?? What ??

Well, after my long summer recess, I'm back again, and what an auspicious start to the new season.

Sandwell, having needlessly chopped down mature hedgerows lining the approach to one of the motorway bridges at Sandwell Valley earlier in the 2010, and having needessly replaced them with some very amateurish 'layered' fencing, have to-day, needlessly strimmed the grass/wild flower verges at the base of said fencing.

The result, as you can see, is grass; nettles and other plants scattered across both sides of the approach.

It rained in Sandwell for part of to-day so the scattered plants, on the gently sloping bridge approach, quite apart from being a mess, are nicely wet and slipperey. I think the H & E parlance is 'hazardous'!

If any of my readers happens to break an ankle there and requires more photographic evidence in their pursuit of Sandwell Council, I shall be happy to oblige.
