[QUOTE="Old Boar, post: 1362652, member: 2957"] A thought has occurred - they may not know how the countryside works. It is their plot and they want to make it pretty. We can all understand that, and it is better than a pile of dumped mattresses and sofas. That may be as far as their thinking went. Get someone, a female preferably as this is seen as less confrontational, to call round and tell them a few facts. Such as the farmer could be prosecuted for removing the hedge as it belonged to him and the powers that be may not believe that someone else would have removed the hedge. Point out the risks of having a gate into their plot - animals, burglers etc, and the risk to animals of eating some of their plants, and the cost of a cow, and who would pay if one of them was poisoned. They may have no idea and not actually thought about this aspect at all. After all, to most, the countryside is free. If it is obvious that they understood all this and still went ahead, then some of the other suggestions can come into play, but it just may be sheer ignorance. Life is easier if your neighbours are friends! [/QUOTE]
