Slowly Vanishing ......

....green and pleasant land.
I have tried today to contact my local Council but I think they have the day off for the Local Elections.
I am incensed at yet more destruction of our locality.
Our Local Councillors' manifesto is 'The protection of our Bye Laws' to keep our green verges green....... but they are not in their office when they are needed.
We are watching the destruction of their green verges today ...... all for the sake of the great god motorised vehicle.
This young worker has been ordered to complete a run up to the front garden...... he is digging up the grass and laying slabs.  
The young couple who bought this house have already cleared all the frontage and block paved the lot.  All the water runs off and soaks into the grass verge so we are saved from more flooding out front.  But now it looks like our drains will work overtime  ....... and the folks next door to them have lost access to their driveway for the time being.  (He has now parked his van on the roadside grass verge ........)
  
I have been onto the Council for help but there is non available ..... so sinks our 'green and pleasant land' deeper into the concrete ...... and there is nothing we can do to conserve the greenness and the oxygen and the .....
....... so I rant and rage but feel so helpless.  
It is alright the government and councillors going on about preservation of our rights, greenhouse gases etc. but where are they when needed.
I shall contact my newly elected councillor tomorrow ..... watch this space!!
