A37 Hedge on Main Road between Paulmont bus stop running north to opposite The Mount

The entire length of hedge is overgrown from before the bus stop right through to the end of the beech hedge, opposite The Mount. It hasn’t had a hard cutback for years and is dangerous in some areas for pedestrians trying to walk down the pavement alongside busy, heavy traffic with HGV’s thundering down the road. I know there was a report a while ago for some of the hedge but nothing has been done & a resident recently cut some of the dangerous overgrowing branches off simply to enable pedestrians to navigate the path without having to step into the road. This needs a tractor cut down the entire length to ensure the hedges are kept in check for at least a few years and not a trim back, where they will be just as bad the following year. Thank you
