Following up concerns about the maintenance of hedges etc. raised by members at the Open Meeting in October, the Forum has been in contact with the Open Space Management Team at the Council.

They have helpfully provided maps showing the hedges, shrub beds and grassy areas which they maintain. If you know of a problem area please contact us, using the relevant map to describe its location.

Hedges that are residents' responsibility

There are some residents who have responsibility for the maintenance of hedges beside their houses, though not part of their land, because their houses are beside a footpath. The Open Space Management Team recognise that this is not an ideal situation, but it is council policy.

If you are in this situation and you are finding it a problem, please contact us, using the relevant map to describe your location. We may be able to help.
