A lawyer warns UK homeowners that neighbours can legally acquire their land through adverse possession if they occupy it openly, without permission and unchallenged for 10 years.

If these conditions are met, residents may apply to their local council for a remedial notice requiring the hedge to be trimmed. Health officials also urge the public to take precautions during the heatwave and to check on vulnerable individuals.
