On 4th October, we sent a letter from the HLRA to the Grounds Maintenance Monitoring Officer, Victoria Whaley. The Committee was concerned that a heavy ‘ride-on’ mower was being used in the garden between Holly Lodge Mansions and Makepeace Avenue. This not only caused a lot of noise, and damage to trees, but was also damaging the period feature York Stone pavements. We asked that the use of the ‘ride-on’ mower was either stopped or ramps used to protect the paths.
