Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 2337512.
Twice recently the garden refuse lorry has driven over the grass leaving terrible damage as the photos show. The council repaired it back in July but now it's happened again requiring them to come and repair it once more. We also get cars driving and parking on the grass but the main damage is done by the refuse lorry. We would like to put rocks along the edge of the grass to stop people driving or parking on it as we have taken a lot of care keeping it looking nice and each time it happens we are very upset. Alternatively would it be possible for the council to tarmac the verge instead as it seems impossible to deter people from damaging it.
