The Length of Wymers Wood Road from the junction with Pink Lane to the 90 degree left hand bend at the end of the drive of The Pines Hotel.

Reported via desktop in the Hedge problem category by MR CLIVE KELLETT at 18:02, Friday 2 May 2025

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7516405.

SEE VARIOUS PRIOR REPORTS BUT, SPECIFICALLY 7469284 of which there now appears to be no record. I reported a problem that kept getting closed without an answer. Finally, I received a personal email from Chris Nash: Local Area Technician Buckinghamshire Highways Communities Directorate. I have raised the issue here once again as I am unable to respond directly to Mr. Nash.

I'm sorry Chris, but they were not. The flailing works to which you refer were only undertaken on the stretch of Wymers Wood Road from the junction with Taplow Common Road, adjacent to the footpath behind Burnham FC and were terminated well before the junction with Oxford Avenue. The stretch to which I repeatedly refer is as detailed above. Having previously reported the problem in August 2024, I expressly remember the work to which you refer and wondered at the time why it had not progressed further.

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.
