Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Housing and Customer Services said this policy aims to help tenants look after their hedgerows, ensure fences are not too high, and deal with any fencing or boundary issues arising with private owners in neighbouring properties.  She said not only is it good that we can offer tenants this assistance, but also that Cheltenham will look better in some areas, and homes for hedgehogs and other wildlife will be provided.
