I asked a friend tonight who came to supper, he is a lawyer, he says
you can reduce the height of the hedge now to 6 feet (or was that 2
metres).


********.


And if a neighbour were to set foot on my land and hack at my hedge, I
would empty a double-barrel shotgun in his face.


yes, sure you would.............


Sounds exactly like the type that would have an overly-high hedge, doesn't he!

IIRC legislation covering high hedges come under the 'anti-social' heading?

There is leglisation in place where hedges that take your right to
light can be cut but I don't know the full details.


There is no "right to light" in gardens.
