This is an urgently needed piece of legislation to clear up this long
running festering sore over garden hedges.
I understand its at 2nd reading in parliament
Clear giudance over hedge heights is urgent
there must 100s of other festering disputes that could also end in a
killing over this issue...


I don't think the dispute in this case was about a high/leylandii hedge at
all - from piccies in the papers today.


No, I understand it was a 'traditional' privet hedge.

People can/will fall out over anything, unfortunately, and, very
occasionally, that leads to tragic consequences like this. Using it as an
excuse to rush through legislation about hedges in general is plain daft,
IMO.
