Finally the New High Hedge Law will come into force on June 1st 2005

Way hay. At last, I can force my neighbour to trim his flipping
leylandii
down to a reasonable level.

No, you can't. At most, you can apply to your local authority, which
may choose to do that. We shall discover which ones choose to, and
which choose not to.

The mere fact that I can get on to the council will get him to trim his
hedge as he regards himself as a pillar of society and would be deeply
ashamed that anyone knew how unreasonable he was about his hedge.
