Hole in boundary hedge, how do I repair?

[Snoop Puss]

Personally, I'd let the committee handle the problem. Is your site council or privately owned?

Stick a couple of pyracanthas in front of the hole. That should deter them cutting wholes in the hedge.

It acts like growing razor wire.

Yes it does look a lot neater, and it did need a good trim on top. They have a garden fence, and the hedge is on the allotment side yes. It is one long hedge that runs the entire length of the allotment, which is why I think it is part of the allotment (but might just be the old boundary).
It is one hedge though, rather than two (well it was). I'm just a bit upset, as that's the bit I'd planned as a private chill out bit of the allotment, and now I look like a peeping tom whenever I'm in that bit, as it looks right into their garden. I just can't understand why someone would purposely remove their own privacy and security.

It looks like the garden has a fence & the hedge is on the allotment side but I can't see clearly in the photo? Someone has given the two hedges a good tidy up,they look neat now,whereas before they're messy,maybe they just always prune/hedge trimmer it? I'd plant lots of something where the gap is for an easy life,if it was the allotments hedge I wouldn't want to ask the homeowners anything that could lead to a disagreement or make them feel uncomfortable.

Council owned, so I could contact them and see what they suggest. I want to talk to one of the committee first though, but there's never anyone around when I go down.

What do you know about them? Could they have got someone in to clear the garden who wasn't looking at the problem of privacy and security and also didn't want to handle the garden waste?

Maybe you could write a note for a committee member to call you to discuss the problem.

Perhaps they just like the view across the allotments from their windows.
Do you have a shed? Stick it in front of the gap....

Have you noticed any prunings they've thrown over onto your side,although if they're trimming that hedge,that isn't theirs,they can give the prunings back? I was thinking you can get 6 foot bamboo screening for privacy?

If you've never seen anyone in the garden, why worry about it?

Just stand in the gap and stare at the house from time to time!

That should encourage them to put something in the gap and solve your problem.
