If I may share a canny trick I've picked up over the years re grass clippings, this trick also works with Autumnal fallen leaves(non Autumnal too) if I know there is grass on any pitch not just CL pitches I wear Wellingtons, then on returning to my LV/Tent/pod etc I kick them off & enter my 'abode' wearing socks. I hope you at least try this canny trick out, it works. Its good to share

I'm waiting for someone to come up with a "sanitised" ultra premium pitch for those who have difficulty coping with great outdoors in general! You know, insects, visiting wildlife, other users, other users children, others users pets, other users BBQ, real grass, pretend grass, grass clippings, trees, leaves from trees, offensive countryside smells, noisy countryside animals, birds singing, cocks crowing, cows f*rting, sheep leaving bits of wool about, and as for rabbit poo....... £100 a night should cover it, extra for disinfecting hook up point each night!
If you google "carcoon" the perfect protective kit is available for precious cars. I am sure there would be a market for a pitch sized model!
(not having a go at you birder billy just those who cannot cope with camping/touring in general, but do it, because it is either "trendy" or cheap! And then moan!)

You are most welcome Dave. I have another tip for the 'anti CC' types who bemoan every part of the CC set up but continue to pay to be members. I'll pass it on at a later date

If the ground is too soft and wet to take a mower, surely the site should be closed until it dries out? I certainly wouldn't take a motorhome onto ground like that.
But then it would be denied to those that can cope with a bit of damp, something quite common in the UK.
Hopefully if the ground is soft rather than simply the grass too damp to mow, the owner will be selective with what units can use those pitches.
Closing a site because it is unsuitable for a particular type of unit, or client, seems OTT.
