Barren areas and Housing Associations

I applaud the plan and love the thoughtful way that wild spaces are managed here showing that flora and fauna can coexist with a busy town. I live in an area very close to Rodden Meadow, (thank goodness!). It is Housing Association owned, and houses mostly elderly residents that have mixed responses to managing their outdoor spaces. There is a lot of gravel, plastic grass, paving, and artificial flowers, with some potted areas and some small gardens. Surrounding the properties are car parks and grass that is mown (I believe by the town council) to oblivion. 1. Can the plan consider working with Housing associations to honour No Mow May, and, if possible, to extend that to To Soon June? When left in the spring little surprises happen, like field poppies. It is barren here, insect life is minimal, and if plants are allowed to grow wildly, letters are received from the Association to 'tidy up' the space. 2. The only bird life, (which I do appreciate, but it is shocking that there are no garden birds) are magpie, crow, pigeon and seagull. A hedgehog did visit my space one year, to visit the water I leave out. Can we have some level of education of organisations like Housing Associations and their residents on the importance of biodiversity? Also to inform on misguided 'labour-saving' gravel, that just gradually accumulates humus and is a devil to weed whilst the ground beneath becomes devoid of life and nutrients.
