> Hello there Could consideration be given to pruning back this hedge which has grown so abundantly it is covering over half of the public footpath? The location is very near a school and on a corner. Because the footpath is so narrow, if one meets another person on the corner, it is potentially unsafe. This is increased due to Covid social distancing rules. Meaning…. If one of the pedestrians steps onto the road to avoid the other footpath user, the action becomes a safety issue. I also note that a tree branch is on the ground ( See more clearly if expander on the image is used.) It is also evident that the magnolia grandiflora which is growing in the adjacent property, has been trimmed and some of the clippings have been dumped between the hedge. Happy New Year ??
