May I congratulate this thoughtful and kind household in Hawthorn Lane.
The reason is, they have trimmed back their hedges level with their boundary wall. This is something everyone in Wilmslow should do. Some areas have narrow pavements, and as I use a walking stick, I have problems getting past some of the very bushy overhangs.
Obviously some folk don't give a thought for others. It's about time they did. Is there a council bylaw for this?
As it's council election time maybe a councillor could tell me. I doubt it!

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
As if the parking isn't enough of a problem, the hedges are taking over the pavements too.
Maybe a steep fine for all overgrown hedges would eliminate the problem.

If it is not overhanging shrubbery it is vehicles illegally driven on pavements to park and / or refuse bins dumped on the pavement.
I think some owners give hedges a trim but don’t realise the extent they encroach on the footpath. Hard cutting is required sometimes.
It’s nesting season now, so hedges need a good inspection, to check for nests, prior to a hard cut.
Pedestrians are an endangered species due to the carelessness of encroaching hedging, dog poop, pavement parking, poorly positioned bins and myriad other hazards.
Yet health professionals encourage us to walk! Where?
