Reported via desktop in the Hedge problem category anonymously at 13:04, Wed 26 June 2024

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6157473.

Customer has advised she has spoken to the Parish council about this overgrown hedge. Parish council say they do not deal with this as the road is over 30mph (40mph road) so they have told her to report again. She just wanted to stress this is urgent as people are having to walk in the road as it is so overgrown into the path. Please can this be looked into.

Updates

  • All wild birds are protected. This includes their nests (whilst in use or being built) as well as any eggs the nest may contain. Under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), it is an offence to:
    • intentionally kill, injure or take any wild bird
    • intentionally damage, destroy or take the nest of any wild bird while it is in use or being built (nests of golden eagle, white tailed eagle and osprey are protected all year round)
    • intentionally destroy an egg of any wild bird
    • intentionally or recklessly disturb certain wild birds or their dependent young while they are nesting (including disturbance of nesting young)
    Although no dates are legally stated between which hedges cannot be trimmed, cut, laid or coppiced, the main bird breeding season is recognised as being between 1 March and 31 July which we adhere to. Please note, if the issue reported is classified by our Highway Officer as an emergency, arrangements will be made to make the hedge safe for both road and pedestrian users in line with our Highways Safety Inspection Policy.
