So the really long over hanging branches have been removed however the hedge is so deep and is way over the properties boundary and takes up at least 50% of the footpath as does the hedge at number 45! Thank goodness it’s just me and my dog because if I was on a mobility scooter I would never be able to pass!! It needs to be cut back properly to the boundary!! They both do!
