Three reasons to avoid cutting back dead stems and seed heads this winter:
🐞 Hollow stems provide homes for hibernating insects, such as lacewings and ladybirds
🌻 Birds feed on seed heads like teasels, sunflowers and thistles
❄️ They look good when dusted with frost or snow!

Of course some people don't like 20mph/30kmh limits. They probably don't like any other limits. But they are the very people who need those limits to reduce the impact of their driving on community life. So expect opposition to such limits, it shows how much the limit is actually needed.
