I'm tempted to go through a list of all the wild flowers that have been seen growing in the grassy areas alongside Hathersage Road directly bordering land designated by Natural England as SSSI. Among them are several that are more typical of the White Peak. And of course the delightful Anthriscus sylvestris.
Earlier this month I mentioned that Sheffield's Highways Department currently run by Amey has been cutting roadside vegetation contrary to recent practice. Now they've been spraying too and the evidence can be viewed as a disgustingly ugly brown scorching. It's been done along a lengthy stretch near Blacka's border wall and goes on up to and into the car park. It used to be policy to maintain solely with a single cut in late July/August. Words fail me.
