I have been told that I must pick up all clippings from a privet hedge if
they fall in a flower border, on the grounds that the cutting inhibit
growth of other plants. I suspect this is an old wife's tale. Is there
any substance to it?

Not in my experience.

I think it's best to shred privet though before composting it though
to speed up the process.
