A long running dispute over an unstable hedgebank in Plympton could end in the courts after a final warning letter was issued by Plymouth City Council.
Pedestrians have been unable to use the pavement below St Maurice View at the Deep Lane end of Ridgway for some time as the hedgebank running alongside the pavement has been crumbling onto it and the road.
Plymouth City Council claims the hedgebank is the responsibility of Persimmon Homes who so far have not acted on the council’s requests for it to be made safe.
Now though Plymouth City Council has lost patience with the inaction and has served a final warning letter on Persimmon Homes requiring the necessary work to be carried out by May 31.
If the developer does not make the bank safe by that date the council will arrange for the work to be done and pursue a recovery of the cost involved from Persimmon Homes through legal channels.
