What I don't get, is that space was part of the council house development, which the borough council transferred into their housing association.
How the fuck did they, Worthing Homes, off load the maintenance to the county council?

FREE THE WORTHING GRASSESFFS, I posted that as a piss-take of the classic local rag photo genre, not for a bloody discussion about grass cutting.
It's not a bloody verge, it's a small patch of grass, which used to be maintained, surrounded by houses on 3-sides, where young kids used to play, which is important in an urban borough that happens to have less green public space per head of population than anywhere else in the UK.
There's plenty of fucking space for wildlife, just over a mile north from there, called the South Downs National Park.

I think that what West Worthing Council has basically done here is to kick the issue into the long grass. Lucky they had some, eh?

Yes, I think there can be quite a strong correlation between religion and mental illness: to the extent that, with some particularly vulnerable clients, religion can become something of a problem, in two ways.
First of all, it's not unusual to get very religious people coming on counselling courses, and it can be a battle to train them not to put Jesus in front of everything else - often, they want to become counsellors in order to be able to spread the word of God, rather than to use their new skills for counselling, pure and simple. It's probably rather judgemental of me, but my blood runs cold when I hear people describing themselves as "Christian counsellors".
Secondly, for people who are struggling in life, faith can sometimes look like a far less challenging option than, say, doing hard and painful work around (say) earlier life experiences - it can be tempting to just put yourself in the hands of some deity (very much as that driver did) than to take responsibility for making the changes ourselves.
I've encountered, both sides of the professional divide, quite vulnerable people who have been, usually very benignly, drawn into the protective circle of religion. For many of them, it becomes a safe place where they can remain vulnerable, but feel safer and more supported. For some of them, though, all of the energy and thought that went into whatever their psychopathology is gets transferred onto their faith, and I suspect that it is this kind of person that ends up making dangerous choices, from a false sense of security that their beliefs have given them.

Non Christian I know did that with son in car, he was saying "do it!".
that's why i hesitated to impute anything to the daughter. having been exposed to that mindframe, she could be traumatized, or she may think "yes it's fine, it's god's will."
