This fence faces onto the pavement on the LHS outside my front garden. It is in front of a strip of council owned waste ground and is now likely to collapse due to disrepair and the pressure of shrubs and overgrowth from the waste ground. Small children regularly cycle and run past the fence and neighbours also park their cars in front if it, so it could cause damage/injury. Please could you arrange for the fence to be replaced and the strip of waste ground, which runs right along the outside of my garden fence as well to be cleared? I have trimmed the brambles etc sticking through both the fences, but it needs much more. Access to the waste ground is from behind the group of garages half way along Silverbank Crescent. Thank you for your help.
