The hedges along the footpath have been overgrowing for several years and have not been cut back to align with the fence. As a result, pedestrians are forced to duck while walking, which creates an obstruction. The overgrowth also significantly reduces natural light during the day and makes the path feel dark and unsafe at night. We would appreciate it if the hedges could be trimmed back to improve accessibility and safety.
