Same problem this year, hedge blocking the pavement so unable to get a buggy or wheelchair through. Please do whatever you did last year to get the owner to trim the hedge. Many thanks.

  • Unfortunately the owner has not trimmed the hedge and it's still not possible to get a pram / buggy / mobility scooter or wheelchair past the hedge without walking in the road.

  • Hi I was wondering if there's any update. No trimming done and still not able to travel along the pavement with a mobility scooter. I can provide more photos of the problem hedge to assist with your investigation if required.

  • Investigation: Completed (No Action Necessary) - We can confirm that the vegetation has still not been cut back by the home owner, so we will now pass this onto our Regulations team for further enforcement.
