A welcoming habitat for butterflies and bees, but, to be honest, things were getting a bit overgrown

 

It has to be said - not the most enchanting of aspects

A planting scheme on a long neglected site in Cleethorpes seemed a good idea at the time.

The early spring initiative by former councillor Bob Callison spruced up the ornamental flowerbeds at the junctions of Trinity Road, Highgate and Sandringham Road.

But someone forgot to maintain them and, by last month, they had become a tangle of undergrowth - great for passing butterflies, bees and other pollinating insects but not at all pleasing on the eye.

Following numerous complaints, Lincolnshire Housing Partnership - or some other individual or organisation - has responded.

And as our photographs below show, what a difference a strimmer makes.
