Hedge between Victoria Road and Albert Road is greatly overgrown to such an extent that a post box is buried 2 feet in the hedge, pedestrians have to step into the road when passing others, 2 prams cannot pass, many large trucks and articulated truck use Alderley Road which is quite narrow. The hedge, although trimmed back from time to time is effectively getting wider and would benefit from a good 3foot off and bck to where it probably started. Please inspect asap and hopefully encourage owners to get to work.

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
