I live in Linden Road and behind the gardens is a field which has a hedge running along the back fences. There are also trees planted in the corner which is where the problem is. The hedge/tress out the back of my house are very over grown and encroaching in my garden. They are now too big for me to manage. The hedge has been cut before which looks great but they never do the whole hedge at my house as it goes right into the corner which is too overgrown. The trees/hedge need cutting right back to stop them coming into my garden causing a mess and blocking out light. They are now very tall. I have raised this issue a couple of years ago and the hedge was trimmed but not right into the corner which is very overgrown. I am more than happy for someone to look at this from my garden.
