Some councils are more forward thinking and mow paths and a few designated picnic/sunbathing/chill out areas. This leaves the local wildflowers and wildlife a fighting chance and gives local people a chance to be in awe of nature - to enjoy it. Mowing dandelions before they seed means they do not seed. Goldfinch population relies on these seeds and even the rabbits eat them. Natures times its seeds so that wildlife benefits. Whilst dandelions and daisies, buttercups and clover, are resilient - the birds which eat them cannot wait two weeks. The caterpillars many young birds are raised on will not be found on mowed areas. Local councillors clueless. Mayor of Knowsley lives a minute from this park but is rarely seen. Council needs to change its old habit of mowing the entire park every two weeks.
