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.

The Times says it was about the height of it, though.


So I understand, the victim apparently remonstrating with a person believed
to have cut it down without consent. Both people are said to have been keen
gardeners. It's a very great shame when things get so out of hand.
