Overgrown hedges, trees and shrubs next to pavements and roads pose a real hazard to people with disabilities, the visually impaired, young children, and the elderly.
Obstructed pavements force pedestrians into the road – overhanging vegetation ought to have 2.3m clearance over a footway/pavement.
Please think of others – now is the time to cut back overgrown vegetation, before the spring growing season begins.
A big thank you to all the residents who have already cut back their hedges, trees and shrubs to ensure pavements and paths are accessible to everyone.
