Overhanging Shrubs and Trees
Are the trees or shrubs in your garden obstructing the footpath? If the branches of your overhanging trees are lower than 2.3m from the ground or your bushes and shrubs are spilling out and blocking the footpath, you are responsible for removing the obstruction. Some members of our community are finding it difficult to use the pavements when they walk around the villages, so think of the pushchair users and those with disabilities by keeping your vegetation within your own property.
