Hello. Has anyone got any ideas if a product exists which can be
sprayed onto a privet hedge to reduce it's growth rate? A neighbourof
mine claims that a product used to exist - is she correct? Thanx,
Bob.

There's a product called 'cutless' in America, there's supposed to be one
called 'Scotts' Cutlass' in the UK but I can't find any links to it.

Try google for hedge growth inhibitors
