Hello I am emailing yourselves because after going out on my mobility scooter today. The house at the end of beech rise in Sleaford does not look after their garden and also they do not cut their hedge regularly and it is now completely covering the road sign so visitors cannot even see road name!! And I had to go onto the road on my mobility scooter due to their hedge and over hanging spikes pieces are blocking the pathway, it’s that overgrown that you cannot even see their gateway shown roughly where it was and the street name was next to that !! That house number 1 and number 3 do not keep their hedges tidy (maybe get cut once a year if lucky) please can you get them to do something as I shouldn’t have to go into the road on my mobility scooter when popping to the shop etc. I have contacted north Kesteven council and they told me I had to contact yourselves
