Had similar here, smashed a hedge back drastically end of February & got loads of hassle - the bits I cut have grown like mad & held finch nests for the first time in quite a few years... the bits I didn't get a chance have almost no new growth & have only appealed to the rats on wings.
I thrashed a hedge back once for a chap turned out it wasn’t his 🙈🤣
Bloke came out ranting you’ve wrecked my hedge you barsteward 🤨🥊
 
I would like forum members who have experience of these kinds of works (or just operating the required plant) to give a rough estimate of how much this work would have cost the landowner. I know he probably didn't do an adder and watervole survey first but we all know the cost of one of those is eleventy-billion pounds.

no wonder feck all gets done
Do you not understand? If the EA do the job properly, 25 people are employed on high wages contributing a huge amount to the economy. After all the surveys and assesments Jack would have been given the job after a prolonged tendering which he probably priced at x thousand as he does not want to faff about for these ****ers
As it is Jack has been sent down there with his 15 tonne machine earning a couple of grand a month and what has the economy gained apart from a a few packets of sarnies from the local garage? And he was probably working on red.
You must keep up at the back!

This is why there are advocates for changing how economic activity is measured.:rolleyes:
