This issue is recurrent. The hedge overhanging the pavement by the bus stop at the top of Sladebrook Road is now so big that it is taking up most of the pavement, meaning that it is necessary to step into the road to pass passengers waiting for buses. Even when it is trimmed, the hedge still overhangs the pavement significantly, meaning this is an ongoing problem.
