The hedge, which is on land owned by Shropshire Council, has overgrown to such a degree that it has now become a safety hazard for those leaving their driveways. Please review with urgency and cut back to a safe level.

PS: The hedge has been checked, and there are no birds nesting in that area.

  • Dear SC,

    It is now 6 weeks since I raised the SAFETY issue of the council-owned overgrown hedge, and it has now got considerably worse. It is a serious risk to pedestrians and road users. Please respond!
