Residents of Lisky in Mykolaiv are asking for the grass to be mowed in the park near their homes

Residents of the Lisky neighbourhood in Mykolaiv are asking the local council to arrange for the grass to be cut in the park near the blocks of flats on Sportyvna Street.

A local resident, Viktoriia Shchukina, posted a request to this effect on the Mykolaiv City Council’s Contact Centre.

According to her, the grass in the park has grown significantly, making it difficult for residents to walk around, take their children for a walk, or walk their pets.

«The grass has already grown almost knee-high and has long been in need of mowing. Because of this, it is inconvenient for pedestrians to move around and for people to walk with children and pets,» the appeal states.
