    Council advice is that you can cut down vegetation from your neighbour’s overgrown gardens - but only up to the boundary point between the properties.

      Literally the next line:

      It is advised to try to talk with your neighbour first to discuss any issues and try to find a suitable resolution before resorting to cutting back vegetation.

      Everyone seems to be siding with the old man, but I’d like to see a before picture before I congratulate the man standing in front of the most poorly trimmed shrubbery I’ve ever seen.
