The hedge is severely overgrown restricting the width of the pavement to one third. It is on a school route and when a car is parked outside the property it is resulting in mothers with pushchairs having to walk into the road to avoid the obstruction.

The property 6 Malling Way appears abandoned/unoccupied. Soon the pavement will become totally obstructed if not cut back.
