Hi, i fortunately/unfortunately have a long hawthorn "70met" hedge in my back garden that runs between my garden & a private road on the other side around 5 private property's on the other side. Apparently the road it self belongs to just one of the property's. I was told that the hedge was put in some 20+ years ago when this private estate was built. I would assume they are responsible for it. Would you think they are responsible for my side? as its 70x3.5met in size & getting to much for me.
When i 1st moved in i got a local with a tractor Flail trimmed to cut it, & he did a nice job, but with a massive amount of mess & a couple of punctures with the sharp hawthorn. So best not to go down that route.
But legally who is responsible. ??
Thanks
