The uphill bushes have now been cutback for the first time in four years. Many thanks for prompt attention. However the lower, thorny thus more dangerous section, still prevails. Hopefully it requires a contractor with much larger equipment and will be done soon. Last year after making a similar complaint it was dealt with within a few days. With the risks to eyesight One must ask why it doesn't have priority?
