Overgrown hedgerows are danger to pedestrians
I would just like to ask why hedgerows never seem to be cut back any more?
I took my granddaughter to Ribblesdale Pool this afternoon. I walked down the opposite side to the pool to be in the shade and there is hardly room to push a buggy due to overgrown hedgerows. I met an elderly lady coming up the road and had to take the pram into the road to get passed. There were branches at the height of my granddaughter in the pram, which was not good as one could easily have hit her in the face.

Please let me know if there are any plans to have these pavements cleared and the hedges cut back to make it safer walking down there?
