Anyone got any suggestions?

The hedge had been allowed to get out of hand for a few years by the
previous owners, so we have reduced height by a foot, and are wondering
whether to thin it out a little in the Spring. Maybe those bare stalks
will sprout leaves if the top is kept trimmed?
Any advice appreciated

No problems with your link, and as to the hedge, privet will take as
much hacking about as you want to give it.
Even if you cut it to within a few inches of the ground it will grow
back, they should sprout from the bare stems with no problems.
