They are very large now and intruding onto path and also making deliveries difficult. They are above door house and hanging over door. At side of property there is a huge bush overgrowing and blocking half the pathway and has layed itself flat as its too heavy now. A lot of these bushes have thorns on them and are dangerous to the residents and their children. its been a long time since they cut them back. Next to pathway outside back door there is a field of stinging nettles.
