Reported via mobile in the Tree is considered to be causing damage category anonymously at 22:51, Sat 13 July 2024

Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 6226549.

The holly hedge that is between my house in Bedford Street and the Broadway cemetery has grown so high that it covers my bathroom roof and is damaging it. I'm tired of complaining and the issue is getting worse each year. Please help.

  • Good morning, Josie

    I am writing to you from the tree team at Aragon in relation to your enquiry regarding the holly hedge next to no.2. This is the second enquiry that I must apologise for missing this section of hedge next to your property due to hedge not being markable within system and enquiry was logged against the lime tree close to no.1. I have now reinspected the area and placed this section of holly hedge next to no.2 onto the system and have recommended this section to be cut to below the level of the metal fence to help negate the encroachment onto your property. This has now been raised into an order and passed to our subcontractors to be processed, our subcontractors are in charge of their workflow and this has just has been passed to them with this new recommendation to lower the fence height to be completed under standard priority so hopefully we shall see this section lowered in the next few weeks. The hedge is now on our system so hopefully we can keep on top of this issue in the future

    Regards
