I have been moaning about the state of Tollgate Hill for while now – how the overgrown bushes and overhanging trees were making it increasingly difficult just to walk along the pavement. Well this week, about 6 months after I started moaning, someone has tackled the rampant greenery.
I assume it was the council, assisted by some serious power tools, who didn’t just cut back the bushes, brambles and nettles by the pavement but totally obliterated them. I was expecting a bit of pruning, but this is really radical. It takes some getting used to as it changes the whole look of the road, but I like it. I like the way it has revealed the trees.
There’s a weekend coming. I might have to go out and get some snaps so I can do a before-and-after slideshow or something.
