Shrubbery owned by Bucks Council has long been neglected to the extent it overgrows the footway and is at a height which dangerously obscures the vision for drivers exiting Robin Parade.

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7086194.

Maintenance of the shrubbery has long been neglected. The overgrowth barely allows one pedestrian to pass. The full width of the footway must always be available for the safety of pedestrians. The height of the shrubbery must be maintained so that vehicle drivers can see all pedestrians and other traffic approaching from the right.

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.
