This is still overgrown and becoming incredibly dangerous. This overgrown hedge is forcing young children to walk in the road and mums with prams and small children to walk in the road on the blind corner near the entrance of Paddocks preschool. This needs to be urgently rectified as could cause an accident.

This is getting to the point that you have to step into the road on a blind corner to walk to the preschool. Lots of parents/carers are having to walk in the road with small children which is incredibly dangerous and risky. This needs to be urgently fixed to prevent an accident potentially involving children. Please review this urgently.

This hedge is so big the path is unusable. It is very dangerous as right next to a preschool so lots of people with young children have to walk in the road.

This needs to be categorised as an URGENT priority. The pavement is now unusable and forcing people onto the road on a blind corner. This is metres from the entrance to the preschool therefore small children,their parents/carers with prams are forced to walk in the road at busy school drop off times. This is incredibly dangerous and an accident waiting to happen. I've had cars whizz past my toddler just centimetres away from them, if they'd wobbled over or put a foot wrong like they often do they would of been hit. Please prioritise this and update us.Will shortly contact MP, local news outlets etv as repeated reporting seems to be just ignored.

How bad does this need to get? Unable to use the footpath now, apparently it’s ok to walk in the road on a blind bend. Traffic needs monitoring as cars that park on the double yellow lines when collecting or dropping off at playgroup make it impossible to navigate this side of the road. Please do something to improve this situation

Utterly ridiculous the amount of time that this is taking to get sorted. I came to report this as an issue today as I nearly ran someone over who stepped out into the road ahead of me to avoid this bush. This has taken an appalling amount of time to progress. Are you waiting for someone to get hurt before you contact the bush owner? Simply unacceptable.
