Tesco fail to cut hedge back

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 10:00, Monday 4 May 2026

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9395029.

This is both sides of the roundabout junction where the hedge prevents people passing each other on a busy road. It needs to be back in line with the pin kerb

Likewise round the corner itrees and vegetation are taking over the path

  • Northumberland County Council Update-
    We have investigated the issue reported and found that it is on private land. However,
    we do have powers under Section 154 (1) of the Highways Act 1980, to advise the
    owner/occupier of adjoining land they are required to cut back vegetation so as to
    remove the cause or likelihood of danger, obstruction or interference to the users of the
    Highway (footpath). In most cases the vegetation is cut back very quickly by the owner/
    occupier, but in some instances this can be a lengthier process but be assured we will
    follow due process to ensure the work is carried out.
    Thank you for bringing this to our attention

    State changed to: In progress
