is suddenly stopped, take for instance the grass cutting at Middleton One Row, Darlington, the council for some reason has now said cutting the grass there could be a killer!, Councillor Jones said, 'this is health and safety gone mad, the land, has been looked after by the borough since the year dot – as long as anyone can remember, the person who did it in the past did a wonderful job – he’s been going up and down quite happily – and now they’re saying the angle is wrong,' global slopping I guess,

Coun Jones and her fellow Middleton St George councillor, commented, 'I wouldn’t ask any operator to put his life at risk, but the slope hasn’t changed over the years and there’s flat areas that haven’t been cut,' a council spokeswoman said that in February, Middleton St George Parish Council had been informed that the green would no longer be cut, she said, 'unfortunately, the council’s Street Scene team are unable to cut grass on banks with a gradient greater than 25 degrees safely with equipment that we currently own', so is it a Health and Safety issue or a tight fisted council?
