This issue was reported to the sands Councillor in 2021 and some of the hedging was trimmed back. It has now overgrown again and caused further significant damage to my fence. As you can see it has completely pulled it down and if it falls any further the whole park will be able to see into my home. I have been told by Darren Hayday to report the issue here so it can be inspected
