Hedges v pavements

Actually overgrowing hedges and tree branches are a bit of a chance for me to have a good old chunter.

I use a mobility scooter and they are a problem alongside cars parked on pavements. Also we have a very long footpath joining our village to the outskirts of town and it is now so overgrown the school children, albeit of a secondary school age, have to inevitably walk in the road in some sections , very dangerous.

Expanding the point a tad , I do think the Sheffield Council (possibly others) however has behaved very badly over the widespread felling of the their trees. What has possessed that council?

POGS, don't know the case of Sheffield council, but they usually cut trees down because their afraid of being sued, don't they? Or is that just an urban myth?

Typical though, leave hedges and chop trees.

Agree watermeadow and in the winter I love seeing where the nests have been once the leaves have fallen from the trees. POGS just looked that up, a very sad state of affairs.

When you find a lampost completely swallowed up by someones hedge or someone puts a mirror up so they can see traffic coming along a perfectly straight road rather than realise that their hedge is too far out it's amusing but less sonwhen you have to walk in the road.
