If you have one and/or tree that overhangs onto the footpath, do please cut them back - and keep them cut back. It's really not fair on people who already have difficulties with walking because of age, disability or because they're taking care of children/pets etc.

If you don't do it then the council is likely to cut them back in a serviceable but not very pretty way.

I quite agree with you and put it in 'Tiny things that cause irrational rage' thread last September. As far as I know the Council does not do this unless they are reported. It is also dangerous for tall people in the dark. Having a front garden is an absolute privilege these days and responsibility should be taken for it. The Council will do this for the elderly and infirm as well- but they need to be told.

I've asked neighbours - in person or via a note (when I've not been able to talk to them face-to-face) - and they usually oblige. It's awkward, though, to knock on the door of a complete stranger - though I did that when I was stabbed just near the eye by a yucca leaf (it was dark; I'm rather tall). The house turned out to be empty.

So, if you don't own an offending tree/privet but know someone who does, let them know!

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
