The council has reminded residents to trim trees and hedges ahead of bird nesting season.

The season, which runs between March and August, is set to begin in under a week.

Worcestershire County Councillor Mike Rouse, cabinet member with responsibility for highways and transport, said: "Residents and landowners are responsible for their own trees and hedges.

"We remind people to prune back now before bird nesting season starts so that nesting birds are not disturbed."

Residents can report obstructive shrubbery to the council and dispose of garden waste at local Household Recycling Centres.
