Ramsey Residents – Trim Your Bush!

Published

on

Ramsey Commissioner Lamara Craine has issued an important public service announcement: it’s time to trim your bush.

Yes, you read that right.

With the growing season approaching and summer just around the corner, Commissioner Craine has launched ‘Bush Watch’ – an initiative to ensure that unkempt shrubbery doesn’t start making a nuisance of itself in public spaces.

And, if you’re giggling, don’t worry – so are we.

According to Lamara, overgrown bushes are a frequent complaint in Ramsey, and it’s high time residents take matters into their own hands.

So, if your bush is looking a little wild, overgrown, or just in need of a good tidy-up, now’s the perfect time to take some clippers to it before bird nesting season starts on March 1st.

For those unsure whether their bush is a public menace, she suggests a quick test: if it’s flapping about in the wind, creeping onto the pavement, or causing innocent passers-by to duck, weave, or perform an unintentional game of hedge limbo, it’s time for a trim.

Bush neglect is no joke, folks.

While we all appreciate a bit of natural beauty, there’s a fine line between ‘charmingly overgrown’ and ‘dangerous jungle’.

No one wants to be the poor soul who ends up with a face full of unexpected foliage while on their morning stroll.

For those who spot a particularly unruly bush in town that isn’t theirs, Lamara is inviting residents to report them using the What Three Words location system.

Presumably, this is to avoid the awkwardness of having to tell your neighbour directly that their bush is causing a public disturbance.

So, Ramsey, get trimming.
