Banstead Road and Beeches Avenue – protecting nesting birds in overgrown hedges…

This is a picture of the nicely trimmed hedges in Banstead Road earlier this year! Following our recent request for the now- very-overgrown hedges in Banstead Road and Beeches Avenue, Carshalton Beeches to be attended to, action will take place soon, as is explained in a letter in from the council officer:-

Dear Cllr Pollock

thank you for your enquiries regarding the hedge cutting in Banstead Road and Beeches Avenue. 

We do not start hedge cutting in Parks or on the Highways until the last week of July and it normally takes about two weeks for completion. The reason we do not start hedge cutting before the end of July is that we try to follow the RSPB guide lines (attached);(please click on: Nesting birds) I will ask the Councils verge contractor to prioritise these two roads and to make them the first to be cut.

I hope the above has been of some help and if you have any further quires please do not hesitate to contact me, if you wish to talk to me directly my contact number is 020 8770 4637.

Kind Regards

Mick Ede

Senior Contract Supervising Officer
