Bromley Environment and Community Services sent me a warning letter
I live in the last house of my road on the right hand side. The pavement goes past my house and round to the right into the next road which is a cul-de-sac. From the junction to the wall are 4 houses.
I have bushes in my front garden along the borders and they do overhang the garden wall by about half a paving slab. but there is still room to walk past.
So imagine my shock when I get a letter from Bromley on the Monday before last entitled "Overhanging Vegetation Causing Obstructin To Public Footpath". It states that a member of the public has made a complaint and that i have 14 days to comply with the request to cut my bushes back to the border. Otherwise further action will be taken.
First reaction to the letter was, what member of the public, no one walks round here unless they live here. So then thought it's either a nosy neighbour with nothing better to do or one along the road that I had an incident with about a year ago. Coincidence they moved house in this same week.
Looking along both roads, the maority of front gardens have "overhanging vegetation". Anyway, I have complied and trimmed it all back in about 10 minutes with the hedgecutter.
Anyone else been told to trim their bushes?
