Ms Anne Jones:

No, but what did filter through was what happens in local authorities, because now local authorities are not cleaning the kerbs like they used to do. The roundabouts have all gone wild. Sometimes it actually looks untidy. I know we have to get into the mindset that untidy may be okay but for those of us who grew up in a certain generation, untidiness is still untidiness. When I see the roundabouts, I have a natural reluctance to accept them. I do not know where they fit into the Tidy Towns, for example, where there was such pride taken in cleaning up areas and making sure that everything was pristine when the inspectors came. Now, there are these scraggy roundabouts and scraggy approach roads. How you deal with that is another thing; how to accept that as being good in the overall sense of biodiversity.
