Hedges overhanging the footpath so that people have to walk in the road which is extremely dangerous because of the very limited visibility.

I note that the problem was first reported to the Council over a month ago. The Council's website says the Council writes to landowners in these situations asking them to cut back the vegetation. This is not good enough; it is a dangerous situation - somebody will sooner or later get hit by a vehicle if no action is taken. The Council have powers to remove obstructions and charge the cost to the landowner and that should be done in this instance.
