A SUGGESTION that roads ■ and grass verges were looked after a lot better in Lancashire than in the West Riding of Yorkshire was made in a letter to Bowland Rural District


Council. A farmer, Mr. F. W. Giles, of


The Bungalow, Sawley Grange, drew the Council’s attention to the thistles growing on top of the banking of Sawlcy by-pass, just above the junction of the old brow, and said that these had not been cut for a number of years. “Anyone surveying


t h i s


stretch of the road must have noticed the thistles in past yeais which haye been about five feet high and have been dis­ grace to the countryside,” he


said. He added: “I have no doubts


that you realise how serious it is to have thistle seeds blowing


over your land.” Mr. Giles also mentioned the


number of empty bottles in the hedge bottoms by the side of the road at Sawlcy Grange. The Council is to forward the


letter to the County Council concerned, for its observations.
