Letting it grow for No Mow May
 Bradford Council is letting the grass grow freely in a number of its parks and green spaces to support the annual No Mow May campaign.
Conservation charity Plantlife runs the national campaign which encourages individuals and organisations with lawns to leave their lawnmowers in the shed for the month of May, to encourage wildflowers and attract bees, butterflies and other wildlife.
A number of council-owned sites are left uncut for longer periods during spring and summer, including the meadow area of Northcliffe Park and embankment at Peel Park. Where there are significant numbers of bulbs planted the grass is left uncut until June or July and wildflower or annual seed areas are able to grow naturally all summer.
