The group of residents have won the battle over the high hedge which they said blocked sunlight from their gardens
A group of residents have won a battle over the height of their neighbour's hedge, which they say was blocking sunlight from their gardens. Some of the frustrated people living in the street even resorted to cutting the hedge themselves.
Rice also argued it was “unreasonable for anyone to expect full sunshine all day long." One of the neighbours, David Linkie, said in his initial letter to the council lowering the hedge would “help to reduce the cost of heating the lower back end rooms of the house”.
They said: “There is clearly high risk involved due to the height, volume of work involved and using dangerous and sharp hedge trimming tools required to undertake the job.” After taking matters into their own hands to trim the hedge on their sides they said Mr Rice disposed of the branches left near his door but told them “we won’t be accepting the cuttings again”. They added: “This leaves the impacted appellants with the future burden of disposal twice a year.
