Abbotsford Close hedges

John Fareham and John Abbott have addressed concerns about overhanging hedges impinging on pedestrian access to and from Abbotsford Close.

We received complaints from local residents to the effect that these hedges were projecting too far to be compatible with pedestrian access in general and access for those with pushchairs in particular.  We therefore  furnished the officers with photographic evidence of the scale of the problem and they now report that suitable machinery has been used to trim back the hedges.  We understand the concerns of those who think the trimming was too abrupt or excessive but officers have undertaken to look into this on our behalf; foliage of course will grow back in time and we will continue to observe how thick or thin it is in case it requires further attention in the future.
