RESIDENTS in Orford continue to complain about overgrown grass verges in the area.

Warrington Borough Council has moved to a system that means grass is cut every six to eight weeks due to budget cuts.

However, homeowners have criticised the decision.

Tina Rabbitt, of Capesthorne Road, said: “Is it just me or is anybody else appalled by the completely overgrown state of all the grassed verges in Orford? The grass verge in front of my house has not been cut since April, and the grass is more than a foot high.

“It seems we are paying increasing council tax bills but getting less in return and in the process turning Warrington into an overgrown eyesore.”
