Muir Close Hereford

[megilleland]

Problem in Muir Close.

A mysterious hedge cutter came down the road and trimmed what I believe is a council hedge. The pieces of the hedge which were thrown over the road I swept up and left in neat piles on the grass verge. No one seems to know who commissioned the hedge trimmer and everyone - Muir Housing Group, Herefordshire Housing and Herefordshire Council deny it's their responsibility to remove the trimmings. The trimmings are still on the verge 3 weeks since the cut.

 

The ownership and responsibility for estate verges and trees has always been a problem see "Adoption of housing estate land by Herefordshire Council" going back to 2012.

 

Hereford Housing made a visit and showed me a map explaining the responsibility for estate verges as they see it, but it is not clear and agreed by the other agencies.

I have separated both topics Martin, otherwise search engines will get confused. 

 

This is a strange one, maybe a local resident trimmed them? As for the responsibility, where maintenance is concerned many organisations will distance themselves where they can, its ridiculous.
