Lawns down Rutland Road
I've been in Carterton for over 25 years and I remember the Council (or the nearby farmers, not sure who) would mow the grass down Rutland Road from end to end. Now since 5 years ago or so, they stopped doing it so I would walk the dog in knee high wet grass. We asked many times why they wouldn't do it and they said they "never did it in the first place". Now we finally got an answer: they won't mow in a 100kph zone. Ummm there's not many cars down there and most go up to 80 anyway. I'm just so tempted to voluntarily mow it at this stage but I will need a weedeater for that length!!
