This summer, Hounslow and its partners at Lampton Services are embracing nature and will be letting the grass grow in selected areas across the borough’s parks, open spaces, and housing estates.
Each year, strategic periods of longer grass can:
- Help tackle pollution
- Lock carbon away below the ground
- Support wildlife (such as bees, insects, and plants) and local habitats to thrive
- Support bug hotels which offer valuable pollinators such as bees and butterflies handy hideaways and provide creature comforts for those bugs that help to control garden pests.
Residents and keen gardeners are encouraged to lock up the lawnmowers for part of summer, and to keep off the grass too where possible.
From Thursday, 1 May 2025, selective grassy areas will be left unmown until early autumn.
We thank you for your support.
