Hedge 18 inches into public footpath. Footpath is only 3 ft. Children having to walk into road. This issue has been going on for a significant amount of time. The hedge needs to be within the occupants boundary ONLY and not into a public footpath especially when there are 3 schools within half a mile. It’s very dangerous….

We deal with defects based on the level of immediate risk. We have assessed the issue and it does not present an immediate risk to highway users at this time. As the problem you have reported is not causing an immediate safety issue we will now look at the best long- term approach for this location. We keep all roads and highway assets safe through our routine inspections. If anything is identified as a risk during a future inspection, we will take action to deal with it as appropriate.
State changed to: No further action
