Privet
Please neighbors, if you have privet in your garden, it has small leaves and is currently covered in small white flowers, please please cut it out ... its a noxious weed, causing bad pollen allergy/asthma in some of us ... have seen it in Norton Road on front lawns, it seeds down in abundance ... there is also a tree privet and that is in Lumsden Road gardens ... councils used to come and cut them out for free but not now, its way too rampart, so its up to us as a good community person to cut it out of our property
