Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.

 

I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.

Could it be dog pee that has done the damage?

Maybe. Does that kill grass?

If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.

I’ve noticed a lot more of that green grass that looks a bit like corn or barley. Is it naturally-occurring or should I suspect the hand of a “guerrilla gardener”?

I'm not sure a guerilla gardener would plant grasses,unless they are intending to harvest them (possibly covered in dog pee) 🤣

Are you talking about Timothy grass - which is terrible for hay fever? In which case it's wind dispersed and a nightmare.

No, it’s not fluffy and wispy. It’s like a miniature and green version of wheat. Anyway, there’s a lot of it about!
