  • Thank you for informing us about this issue. Oxfordshire County Council is not responsible for this issue as the vegetation is coming from housing association land. You'll need to contact the relevant HA for help in this matter.

  • The overgrown section is alongside the allotments NOT Sanctuary Housing. I have contacted the Allotments department at Bicester Town Council on 9/6/25 but not had any response.

  • This argument regarding who is responsible for the hedge happens every year. Whoever is responsible please cut the hedge before someone’s eye is poked out or worse.
