Overgrown Hedge near West St Helen Street car park, Abingdon

Hedge swallows Street Lamp
Alongside West St Helen Street car park, there is a hedge that has grown out of control. The trunks are so wide that a large crack has appeared in the adjacent wall.

The branches hang so low that cyclists have to mind their heads.

And there is a street lamp hidden in there somewhere.

The question is who, if anybody, is responsible for the overgrown hedge.

    Beware the fir tree. Many years ago I bought a dwarf fir tree on Abingdon Market, supposedly ideal for a rockery. Some years later it was approximately 30 feet high. We have to cut it down as it took over a quarter of our small back garden.

    You should have thought outside the box, Janet. Wait a few more years and you could have climbed to the top and obtained the goose that lays the golden egg.

    …or found and annoyed a Giant…

    Fee-fi-fo-fum,
    I smell the blood of an Englishman,
    Be he alive, or be he dead
    I’ll grind his bones to make my bread.[
