Another Privet hedge problem
This one at the side of a Public footpath has been dying over the last 5 or so years. Slowly creeping along as you can see here. The hedge is about 8 feet high. http://www.myalbum.com/Album-RWXEKB6...-of-Other.html As you can see, nice and sunny here on the Isle of Wight this morning when I took the photos, but a biting wind :-(( Mike -- ....................................

This one is interesting as to 'ownership' inasmuch that if you look at the second picture you can see a fence, AND, just how much the hedge is sticking out. That is in its trimmed state, when they let if grow and then go to trim it, the lamppost in another picture has vanished :-(( The hedge is growing in the path, but the fence, and I suppose the hedge, belongs to a block of rather nice flats behind it and when the hedge is pulled out, which is inevitable, a new fence must be put in quick as there is quite a drop to the car park :-(( THEN, who reinstates the path, which has just been resurfaced?????
