We leave directly behind a doctor's surgery, we have a fence up and the have a horrible, thorn bush behind the fence. They continue to let the bush grow and come through our garden. It is about 5 meters high and is over growing up over our garage roof, into the guttering and some parts are now so long it touches the floor of our garden. I know we can trim the bush however it has very painful thorns that make your skin very itchy and uncomfortable. The bush constantly drops the dried thorns all over my garden which have gone into my chidlren's feet and hands and now my dogs paws which resulted in £200 vet bill everytime he gets a thorn in his paw. I have approached them and asked if the would just cut the bush to the fence height and they said no they want privacy but they also told me they do not have the budget to cut my side of the bush and that we can do it if we want to, I do not want to cut it, I also do not have the time, It makes my garden look a mess and the thorns keep getting into the soil and i am forever hurting my hands, It is making my life a misery, i tie my dogs to posts to avoid them hurting themselves, I would like to know if there is anything i can do as they are clearly not interested, it is also pushing our fence over. Please help with any advice
