The chairman of Torridge Council calls for more maintenance after rewilding, but critics disagree.

The public thinks council-owned parks and public spaces that are being left to nature are being neglected, a Devon council head says.

Mr Bushby said he had "lots and lots of complaints" about the state of the Bideford Higher Cemetery, saying he thought it was "very disrespectful when the people go to their local cemetery and the grass is two feet tall".

Peter Hames, climate change lead member and Green Party member, said he was alarmed by the motion, and the council had an obligation to increase biodiversity and subscribed to a nature recovery plan.
