    The hedges have still not been trimmed back. I believe it has been more than 14 days since the occupants of 73 and 75 Oakpits Way were advised to trim the hedges back.

    What action can be taken now. People on mobility scooters or with prams / push chairs have to go on to the grass verge and people walk on the road to pass each other on this section of pavement.
