With that in mind,I managed to get one of their engineers to come out to inspect the whole area, which is slowly becoming a bit like the Amazon Rain forest...and in some cases is spreading right up to the wooden fence panels..at the rear of the patios of the houses- including a few mini trees that have virtually pushed the panels inwards nearest the swimmimg pool..
The upshot of all this is, that the engineer has said that the "neighbours" should do more to remove the "offending growth" themselves, because if the Council cut back any "material" nearest the owners fences (but on the Council's own land.)..then they will still make a charge...which I understand would be the resonsibility of the Landlord to pay, as we are renting the house. Also, two of the dwellings are unoccupied- so what would happen in that situation?

Has anyone heard about this, and if so could they ascertain exactly where the demacation lines would be in respect of whether a charge would be applicable if a person has tried to make some effort to cut some stuff back- which coincidentally I have tried to do- but it is a losing battle and I do not have any specialist cutting equipment. A hedge trimmer or flymo would just get damaged- as some of these roots are very thick.
I am of the opinion that due to financial constraints they have presumably decided to make this decison so as to provide a revenue steam, but I cannot get any information whatsoever.
If anyone can shed some light on the matter it would be appreciated.
