And exactly what effect is cutting the lawn supposed to have?

If they are cut at the flowering stage, or even before, no weed heads
to blow about later :-))

I should have said 'and just what effect is cutting the lawn once, after
complaints have been received and due processes gone through, supposed
to have?' I doubt that even the most efficient council would keep on top
of mowing a recalcitrant lawn owner's lawn sufficiently frequently to
stop dandelion seeds. And I wonder what they were planning to do with
all the dandelions amongst the flower beds?
