I have a stretch of about 6 feet of dead privet in my back garden.
It seems to be spreading. Should I dig out and plant new Privet and if
so does anyone know where I can get mature privet of about 5 feet
high?
Please help.

Could be just that the ground has got too dry and it is stress, I've
noticed a whole load of trees and shrubs turning brown and losing leaves
in the last week or so.

Just scratch the bark, if it is green underneath then it will probably
recover next year, or even if we get a .load of rain soon. I've had to
take to watering my new pyracanthas due to the dry weather.
