I would be quite happy to volunteer to maintain access to that churchyard. In the sense of a 5 or 6 foot wide path around the perimeter i.e. where the stones are, and two diagonal 5 foot wide paths across the centre. I recon two afternoons to go along one side with a decent brush cutter, would be generous.
Would I get sick? Good exercise regime?
So if any council types are reading this you have a free strimmer man for Chevington Church, at least for one year! I'd even upgrade my existing cutter!
I imagine 'elf and safety rules are the problem though, stopping such volunteers ! (or public sector unions
)
