Leylandii should be banned for use as a garden hedge.

Nope. People who plant Leylandii and then fail to control them should be
banned!

A properly maintained leylandi hedge can look very attractive and gives off
a lovely scent for days after trimming.
I have two such hedges, one at seven foot high and one at five foot. The
seven footer is mixed gold & green, dense and luxuriant.
My neighbour to the West has a "traditional" mixed hedge which he is forever
trimming. Despite this it is full of bramble, bindweed and nettle.
