Ms Rosemary Collier:
I just wanted to clarify that. We have an expert parks team who specialise in looking after historic design landscapes. There is a scheme for managing those sites throughout the seasons. Grasslands are allowed to grow very long during the summertime and we have a whole approach to managing biodiversity at those sites. I assure the Chair of that.
There is a practice in the autumn to deal with cases of fallen debris and doing clear-ups in the woodlands during the winter. That allows for type of regrowth and habitat management in the spring and summer seasons. That is a kind of cycle at work.
