was thinking of chopping up the branches ect with the lopper then putting the green leaves in the brown bin we have then burn the dried out wood. hmm what you think?
Men eh? Haven't moved on from neanderthals really have they... Same with barbecues - man ..make fire...cook meat
I like a good burning too though
I'd chop it as best you can Munch and get it in your brown waste collection unless it's going to stay dry for a while or you have somewhere to store it for a bonfire. Difficult when you can't take it to a tip easily either. It'll probably fill a few bins though! Perhaps a neighbour would have space in theirs.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
As others have said, cut it back even further than you dare! Then clear out any rubbish from the base and in February give it a good sprinkling of Fish, Blood & Bone. You'll have a lovely hedge by next summer.
When you trim the hedge, try to trim it to an A shape, wider at the base than the top. You'll get a hedge which is green from top to bottom that way

That's a lot of stuff to get rid of but it will be the last time. Trimmings can go in the composting bin.
Ours was worse than that, the phone wires were getting tangled with it

Sounds good though when the leaves have dried out a bit they'll burn OK. On the other hand if rain sets in they won't dry out

ill cut off the green bits no rain today thankfully
thanks for all the help
Well done! The public who use the pavement will be delighted. Hedges that grow into the public space are a disgrace. Owners should get ASBOs.
It was like that when we moved in cant believe someone left it like that
