FED up Julia Coles says the grass on council land near her home is so long that children could easily get lost in it.

Julia, of Highstone View, Worsbrough Common, said the grass verges and fields in the area are more like jungles than lawns.

Julia says she has complained to the council until she is blue in the face.

She said: “It looks awful and at a time when I’m trying to sell my house it’s the last thing I want.

“It’s not only at the back of my house that is overgrown, every road around here is the same.

“It hasn’t been cut all year and when I called to tell them they told me it should be cut twice a year.

“They promised to come and do it in a month’s time.

“But a month has come and gone and still they haven't cut it.”
