Overgrown hedges can obstruct visibility on roads and footways.
If you see an overgrown verge, you can tell us using our online reporting form.
Our online reporting form takes around 3 to 5 minutes to complete.
How we assess reports
Please tell us:
- the location of the overgrown hedge
- the extent of issue
- photographs if available
Investigatory levels
We will usually investigate where vegetation:
- obstructs footways
- blocks visibility splays
- obscures road signs
- affects highway users
What happens after you submit a report
Our inspectors will assess the risk and determine what action is required.
We may need to contact the responsible landowner where maintenance is required.
