Problems with overgrown vegetation

Please let us know if you have difficulty walking along pavements or driving along highways as a result of hedges or trees growing out into your path or line of sight.  All we need is the address or location of the problem.

Do you know where there is a problem with overhanging bushes?

Please let us know the address and we will ask the property or landowner to cut it back.  In most cases owners will comply with a polite request within a reasonable time. However, in rare cases the council may have to take legal action - and that means it may take a while for the vegetation to be attended to.

Do you own a hedge which is growing out on to the highway but are not sure how much it needs cutting back?

If you need advice, give us a call on 0161 909 6500 or email highway.services@urbanvision.org.uk and we'll send you a leaflet with some suggestions.

You can also use our online reporting to report a problem with hedges or trees that are overgrown.
