Overhanging trees from bottom of garden from council land. ? It’s not a garden , it’s an area of small woodland.

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 12:06, Saturday 5 July 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7812799.

Hello , the trees over the fence at the bottom of the garden are tall and not a problem. However the hedge that is closest to the house garden fence is growing out of control , with overhanging thorny branches ( have a young son who likes to run around the garden ) . I don’t have ladders or the tools to chop it back or I would do. 43 Sentinel Rd. Grateful for your advice and help. Thank you.
