I’ve reported this before, get told someone will come out then the only do the other side and my neighbours opposite, these huge thorns keep growing over into my garden, into my children okay equipment, I have 4 young children and can’t the amount of times they have been caught in the face, body and feet by the over hang, I try to cut it back as much as I can but it’s not from my garden it’s from the public footpath, I have a bad back, a single parent and simply don’t have time to sort out something that’s not originated from my garden, it’s to high for me to, it all needs cutting back properly and behind like they do to my neighbour who has no small children, I’m fed up my children not being able to play in there own garden without being injured from over grown public vegetation.
