Thank you for your enquiry. This issue has been passed onto the relevant team for investigation.

Awaiting confirmation that a team will clear all overgrown vegetation on pathways and around the Garden Close street sign.

Thank you for your enquiry, I have visited site and inspected the trees & vegetation as described in the enquiry. The trees & vegetation present appears to be growing beyond the area that OCC maintains and is therefore deemed to be an adjacent boundary feature. OCC, as the local highway authority, maintain the HMPE (highway maintainable at public expense) from boundary feature to boundary feature, but not the actual boundary features themselves. As such the vegetation present is maintainable by the adjacent property/landowner, and not the County Council. Adjacent landowners may maintain their trees & vegetation as they wish within the guidelines of relevant legislation. Further information on highway extents can be found at www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/highwayextentproperty
It is the responsibility of South Oxfordshire District Council to clean the streets and I recommend you contact them at https://www.southoxon.gov.uk/ south-oxfordshire-district-council
