Residents should be aware that Tewkesbury Borough Council can take enforcement action to cut back hedges that grow over and obstruct pavements. They can then re-charge residents for any work undertaken.
Please can you check that your garden hedge is not growing over the pavement. Brambles hanging down from high hedges can be a particular hazard.
Pavements need to be clear for a width of at least 1 metre (or the full width of the pavement if it's less than 1m) and to a height of 2 metres.
Residents using a wheelchair or pushchair may be forced into the road if the hedge is overgrown.

Is it not entirely reasonable that the full width of a provided pavement should be available for people to walk on rather than being occupied by a hedge? When is the pavement along Church Road going to be reinstated to its full width?
