Hedges surrounding Bateman Drive play area

Reported via mobile in the Open spaces category anonymously at 11:53, Wednesday 5 February 2025

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 1 week, 22 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 7089436.

The hedges are usually cut back in November and have not been done yet. Once the leaves start budding again they will become very large and harder to cut. The hedges adjacent to the path are overgrowing the pathway and one poked my granddaughter’s eye whilst walking past. I live at No 9 and the hedgerow alongside my property is very overgrown and obscures my sight when reversing off my driveway. Could this problem be dealt with asap. Thank you

  • 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.
