FUMING homeowners say their neighbour's towering 13ft hedge blocks the sun and leaves their homes freezing – so they dumped a surprise on his doorstep as revenge.<\/p>\n
David Linkie, Jeremy Jones and a third resident on their Edinburgh street complained to the council about their neighbour Barry Rice's hedge. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They said that the hedge was "dangerous and expensive" to maintain and left their gardens "cold and dull".<\/p>\n
When the council declined to take action, the neighbours took matters into their own hands – by hacking the the hedge down to size themselves.<\/p>\n
The fuming residents then dumped six bags full of branches and clippings on the kerb outside Mr Rice's house, EdinburghLive reports.<\/p>\n
Now the three neighbours have won an appeal, with planners ordering Mr Rice to trim the hedge down to three metres in height.<\/p>\n
