Updates

  • I received a reply from Swisco as follows. Thank you for completing the reporting form. The details of your report have shown this to be private land. after a site visit by an inspector this morning following new information given to us we are undertaking land searches to inform the land owner to cut back the hedges around the sign. How odd as hedge has been cut back before.

  • So either Swisco have not been able to find land owner or they have but the land owner is ignoring request to cut back hedge.
