Cyclone Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If it bothers you that much why not cut it for them? You managed to get that it bothered me that much from me saying that people can't exactly do what they want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Innit Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 If birds are nesting, or might be nesting, in the hedges then it's illegal to trim them until after the chicks have all left. Quite true. I have four sections of hedge - two are neatly trimmed, but the other two have active nests and will have to be left shamefully unkempt until probably September. A bit inconvenient, but I don't begrudge the birds. I'd rather have them there than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rach0106 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Oh my, don't even get me started on this subject! Someone has complained to the council about my hedges and two other neighbours. Yes, they were slightly over our boundry, but not to an extent that the path was in any blocked. I was raging! Both myself and my husband work full time, we have three small children and I'm pregnant again. Time is severely lacking to get into the garden, but as others have said, the constant rain also hasn't helped! I'd understand if my hedge was blocking the path, I really would, but this was just utterly ridiculous, and I told the guy at the council as much too. Some people really have nothing better to do with their time than complain about other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Ryan* Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 We need more people like you, I have 5 hedges, big ones.. 5!!! Which are cut every 2/3 weeks. The neighbours cut theirs I cut mine, Its a bit like a competition. Any ideas what I can do with the trimmings once im done, setting fire to them seems like fun..
