Hedge is overgrown and is encroaching onto the public right of way from Station Road to Saxon Rise. It is making the area quite dark and intimidating. The hedge is owned by the neighbouring property. Would it be possible for someone from Highways or Rights of Way to right to the property owner and ask them to cut back their hedge?

  • This has still not been done and is getting worse to walk by. The branches are starting to come across the path and the wasps and bees are getting hard to get past.

    Not safe to walk past as little ones keep trying to touch the spiked plants in the bushes
