Trees at Yew Tree House and Gardeners Cottage are obstructing access for deliveries to our property. Both Amazon and Ocado are now refusing to deliver due to damage to their vehicles.

Wisteria, Yew and Elderflower are completely overgrown on the Church Walk lane just beyond Elwes Way (by the Church gates). Both Yew Tree House and Gardeners Cottage have let their hedges, shrubs and trees to grow to such an extent that delivery drivers are now refusing to deliver to our address due to damage to their vehicles. I’m pretty sure that visitors to the church are equally concerned.
