Stinging nettles

There is a large patch of stinging nettles at the rear of my property (on either side of my back gate - which leads on to a piece of land maintained by Gateshead Council). These nettles grow extremely high and I have contacted the Council twice in the past year to have them cut back. I would now like to request that weed killer is applied or the plants are dug out, to stop the plants growing and remove the risk of anyone being stung when they walk through the gate. I would appreciate a call about this problem.

Offensive? Unsuitable? Tell us
