The hedge (which is trimmed) is growing out a distance from the boundary wall and is dramatically reducing the width of the pavement. Because it is at head height it is potentially dangerous.

  • Thank you for your report. Landowners and occupiers are legally obligated to properly maintain vegetation on their property that is next to the public highway. If the vegetation affects the safety of highway users, it becomes their responsibility. However, in this instance, since the highway was not obstructed, there may not be sufficient cause to take further action at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation during statutory inspections.
