  • Update on your report:

    We are currently assessing the matter and further information is currently being collated to assist us. As this is privately owned, CBC will need to issue a letter to the resident to request that the hedge is cut back due to encroachment.

    Many thanks,
    Central Bedfordshire Council Highways

  • Thanks for reporting. We need to send a follow up letter before we can undertake the work ourselves, on the off chance the original letter wasn't received. We will send this today. If no action is taken in another 14 days, we can then undertake the work.

    Many thanks

    Despite you promising me 3 times you would sort this out and saying you'd write to the home owner this remains exactly the same. I want to put in a formal complaint.

  • Hello - we have written to the owner, the hedge is trimmed however it still overlaps the path. We have requested again that this is cut back to the boundary or CBC will carry it out.
    Any complaint can be logged with our customer services team, who will signpost to the complaints team.

    Many thanks
