[Image taken 20.7.21] Marygate car park, York. [Note: No street view at this location.] Cutting of the foliage growing through and over the fence alongside the York-Scarborough railway. It was restricting the width of this critical cycle-ped-wheelchair route. It was making the area dark. Today the lights on the hoardings were on but this is not always the case and the effect is of an unlit tunnel. The Network Rail crew were pleased when I thanked them for their work. They explained they had to check for nests before they could start cutting. And if they found one check if the nest was occupied. If the latter, the greenery stays. One of the two Network Rail employees said the work was now scheduled to done every six months but that cutting would also happen in October of this year.
