Having read this article, I wonder if several options were missed off the survey re ‘the Creamery triangle’. https://www.rhs.org.uk/wildlife/lawn-and-mini-meadow-habitats
Strimming the edges of the green and leaving the central bit open to nature could be another option. This would hopefully alleviate the fears of people who worry about their view of the road being decreased; although I would argue that it could possibly force people to slow down – so maybe making it safer! A partially mowed area could make an interesting study for the children of Parwich – what can they find/see in the mowed parts vs areas left to grow?
Another option in the above article is to not mow from spring to the end of August.
I don’t want to flog a dead horse, or cause an argument, but I’m not sure all options were carefully considered; there simply wasn’t enough reflection time given to issue. If not this year, perhaps something to consider next?

The triangle if not mown looks so untidy and a mess the grass verges and meadows have loads of wild flowers for the children to see. The people who want it wildlife should convert their own gardens not the triangle! It’s not nice for residents and tourists to see it such an overgrown mess!
