Overgrown hedges on footpath

Message received 16th July – via Contact us form.

Can you assist by requesting appropriate agency to trim the overgrown hedge on public footpath behind the Premier Inn near Batchwork lock (WD3 1JB??) as it is dangerous for fellow passers especially dog walkers and pram users. I have been told neither Three Rivers Council nor Rickmansworth Waterways are responsible for maintaining the path. Perhaps may be Environment Agency??

RDRA response:

Many thanks for your email. Best option for you is to go on to HCC website and report this issue. Also check who your local, district and county councillors are and email them with photos of the area.
