Private hedge taking up 2/3 of pavement

Reported via mobile in the Obstruction category anonymously at 20:08, Sat 13 April 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5848479.

The hedge extends massively onto the public pavement, taking up about two thirds of the entire pavement and it makes it very hard to get past with a pushchair and would make it impossible with a wheelchair or large buggy

  • The hedge now takes up more than half of the pavement and is obstructing pedestrians. I tried to walk on the pavement with a trolley behind me and couldn’t, and had to go on the road.

  • Hedge has been part trimmed up to 6ft height (hedge is now 8ft tall), but the pavement remains partly obscured/blocked - the pavement is still incapable of being used properly (too narrow, hedge still covers 40%). The "no parking" sign hasn't been uncovered either, and is at risk of being fully hidden unless full action taken.
