I wish the council had told them to cut back a bit! Complain to the council, it is their responsibility to keep the pathways clear. They should write to the owners telling them to cut their hedges/trees But does the owner have to cut them? Out here in rural West Devon the council cut the hedges, I really can't imagine the sense in doing things any other way. All the likely legal fees, letters sent and ignored, knocking on doors, etc. Surely the council cut roadside verges, so why not the hedges? Clearly (sub)urban Britain has some very strange customs. Granted some folks might not want their hedges cut with a tractor mounted flail, but surely that's just a technical matter for homeowners to agree with the council. Aaaah but theres a difference betwen a hedge and overhanging shrubbery from a domestic garden.. I cannot imagine them getting a flail trimmer down our residential north London street LOL.. That'd bring everyone out quick;-) that said there are quite a few overhanging things esp in the summer. Hedge cutting is usually (to my knowledge) only done in the 'country' sic where it is necessary to road safety. (visibility). Or just routine maintainance of larger areas. // ~Jim |
