🌿 Help Keep Hampstead Norreys Safe and Accessible 🌿

As summer growth continues, we kindly ask all residents to help keep roadside verges and pavements clear. Overgrown vegetation can obstruct sight lines for drivers and force pedestrians – especially children and those with mobility needs – onto the road.

🚶‍♀️✂️ If you’re responsible for a verge or hedge bordering a public path or road, please ensure it’s cut back enough to allow safe passage and clear visibility.

🕊️ Important note on hedge cutting: Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, hedge trimming is generally discouraged between 1 March and 31 August to protect nesting birds. If you need to cut a hedge during this time, please check carefully for active nests and delay trimming if any are found.

Let’s work together to keep our village safe, walkable, and wildlife-friendly. Thank you for your care and cooperation!
