Horowhenua District Council is re-examining its decision to stop mowing roadside berms.
It trimmed back the service in July in a decision that saved ratepayers nearly $250,00 annually - but prompted outcry.
Councillors have now voted to compile a report on options for reinstating it.
Horowhenua mayor Bernie Wanden says they want to look more closely at the impacts.
"It does not mean that we are going to flip-flop, all it means is that we want to understand what has happened since we stopped mowing berms."
