you have my immense sympathy
as others have suggested see www.hedgeline.org and watch for the
government to take up the Stephen Pound Bill and push it through
........they have promised they will do so
Please write to your MP and ask them to write to John Prescott to
insist that the government does as its promised and brings in
legislation to contol the menace of Leylandi and High hedges
Be sure to also explain the effect the trees have on your garden
along with the height and spread details


I inherited a leylandi hedge when i moved to present house, and am
glad i didnt chop it down. 8 ft high and 2 think I trim it twice a
year. Spoke to the neighbour and negotiated the removal of some to
give him more light and all has been fine since. Good bird nesting
places and escape for birds from cats and i can run about the garden
with my trousers off if i had the urge!

You clearly are at the very sensible and reasonable end of the Leylandii
Hegege owner spectrum.

Please have sympathy for those householders whose less enlightened
neighbours allow their hedges to blight the lives of others.

there are other less thug like evergreens that do a similar job but less
oppressively.
