  • Customer called back to chase this up as he hasn't heard anything since he was emailed at the start of last month. He advised that where the problem was initially pinpointed was incorrect, the issue is actually located at the other end of the lane as you head towards Darby Close from the Old Three Pigeons and the filling station. He asked if someone could let him know how long it might be before this is done.

  • The situation has been assessed based on several factors. No further action is considered necessary at present. For example, this may be because the hedge is not encroaching the highway above an actionable level or the hedge is not a safety issue and it is within bird nesting season.
