What is this woman's IQ, the report carries the following: 'Mr Heppenstall told Ms Gaynor she could cut overhanging branches back vertically and in line with the boundary but 'did not show the defendant what he meant".
What is there not to understand about this, anyone with any intelligence would know that this means only prune at the part of the branch that overhangs into your property not effectively destroy the tree.
Should have received 5 years hard labour in the salt mines.

The most curious thing..
Leylandii trees are evil things which should all be rooted out and destroyed

That's how conifers grow - once they are too big you either have to live with it or cut them down - the outside couple of feet are green, but the inside is just bare twigs.

That is a Lylandi, pruning looks fine to me, none of the owners of one I've cut back worse than that have been sued. It's obviously another thing Rotherham Council know nothing about.
[h=2]Leylandii Law[/h]The current legislation on high hedges comes under Section 8 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act (2003). This allows councils to take action where the hedge has grown to a height where “the hedge is adversely affecting the complainant’s reasonable enjoyment of their property”. See below to view the full document.
Key points
In most cases, you do not need permission to plant a hedge on your property but you are responsible for looking after the hedge.
There are no laws on how high the hedge can be grown but a council can take action if it is affecting someone’s reasonable enjoyment of their property, so maintaining your Leylandii hedge well from the start is recommended. See our Care section for advice on how and when to trim your Leylandii hedge.
If part of the Leylandii hedge grows over the boundary (foliage or roots), owners of the neighbouring property have the right to cut it back to the boundary. However, anything you cut remains their property so you should check what the owner wants you to do with the trimmings. It is best not to throw them back over into the your neighbour’s garden but to stack it neatly.
If you have a hedge and part of it breaks or falls, or if it damages your neighbour’s property, you could be liable for any costs for compensation or repairs. This includes pushing over fences.
If a hedge is dangerous or obstructs a public path or pavement, your local council can take action to force you to trim it back.

The police were always onto a loser. It should have been dealt with by The Special Branch.

And their local chiquitas - not exactly oil paintings are they.
They make the Brighton locally caught dodfish look ravishing.

I tell you Soulman, it's all going off in Herm Road, Ferring. A local resident goes off for two weeks holiday, comes back and his hedge is cut back EIGHT FEET from his boundary, in HIS garden.
Trespass and shenanigans all the way.
There's more than this that meets the eye. Ferring gansta style.
