Park between Carters Orchard and Bristol Rd, Quedgeley. I'm writing to you with regards the above mentioned green space. Immediately behind my garden and others in the Road there is a stream/ditch which has been totally overtaken with nettles weeds debris etc. Two or three Wednesdays ago work was done to clear the stream/ditch and the grassland on the public park behind a partial metal fence. This was done up to a certain extent but behind my property and the house next door nothing was cleared and brambles general vegetation etc has just been dumped which I can see from my back garden fence. Also having cleared part of the stream/ditch I had rats coming into my garden! I want to know why it has been deemed acceptable to neglect part of this stream/ditch I have stinging nettles and brambles coming through and are over 3 ft tall! I would have emailed sooner but thought perhaps these contractors may have come back and finished the job.
