The national campaign run by the charity Plantlife sees areas of grass left unmown throughout May.

Enable, which looks after the parks and open spaces in the borough, will allow selected areas of grass to be left unmown across 20 sites. Most sites will continue to be unmown in June to allow wildflowers, plants and insects to continue to thrive. 

Local people are also being urged to leave the lawnmower in the shed during May to attract pollinators to their gardens.
