No Mow May to return for 2026 - where in Kenilworth will not be mown?
By James Smith 20th Apr 2026
No Mow May is set to return for a fourth year to Warwick district.
Over the last three years Warwick District Council (WDC) has taken part in the nationwide initiative, leaving some verges and roadsides uncut throughout the month of May in a bid to boost biodiversity.
The first year was met with a series of problems, with many verges not being attended to for weeks after the end of the month, and many residents complaining and nicknaming the scheme 'Jungle June' and 'Grow it High July'.
In 2024, there were fewer issues and last year WDC decided to select certain verges and green spaces to take part. This will happen again for 2026.
Contractors will continue to mow a 1m strip at the edge of the chosen verges throughout May.
Last year councillors were given the opportunity to suggest areas in their wards which should be excluded from the scheme.
The local authority has now revealed which areas across the district will not be mown fully in May.
Areas in Kenilworth not to be mown:
- Castle Road and Castle Green
- Ferndale Drive
- Hyde Road
- Lindisfarne Drive
- Mountbatten Avenue and Mayfield Drive
- Percy Road, Percy Crescent and John O'Gaunt Road
- Wiseley Grove
- Dudley Road
- Highland Road
- Latimer Close
- Littleton Close
- Offa Drive
- Tintagel Grove
