I'D like to record a huge vote of thanks to Councillor Jane Brophy, who has achieved a minor miracle in the past couple of weeks.

I have been pestering Trafford Council officers for the past few months without success to get the overgrown hedge cut on the approach to Timperley Metro station.

This overgrown hedge, which had not been cut for two years, was causing people to step into Park Road, not a good idea at the best of times.

Having reported the matter to Cllr Brophy, the pressure she applied to Trafford's new contractors, Amey, resulted in the hedge being cut last week.
