Local councillors are trying to remove an urban Meadow planted on ground mainly used by dog walkers. 

An urban meadow with long grass is important to wildlife, including pollinators. Bumblebees nest in it, butterflies and moths lay eggs in it, their caterpillars hibernate in it. Providing nectar-rich flowers usually in the second year for our pollinators is fantastic, but it's not enough – they need places to bask, hibernate and breed. Biodiversity can be as rich as that in ancient woodland. Look beyond the messy first year and you'll find birds, butterflies, hoverflies and bees take full advantage.
