JK Rowling breaks silence over backlash for trimming hedge outside Edinburgh home
25.01.2024 - 17:27 / dailyrecord.co.uk
J.K Rowling has broken her silence after she was slammed for maintaining her giant leylandii hedge outside her home.
The Harry Potter author came under fire from locals in Edinburgh after works to trim the plant caused traffic chaos on nearby roads. The 58-year-old billionaire had the road opposite her 17th-century property restricted to allow a cherry picker to work on the shrubbery.
A four-way set of temporary traffic lights were installed outside her home. Parents were left furious by the move after their children were late for school due to being held-up in traffic.
After speaking to the MailOnline, Ms Rowling's representatives insisted that the lights were necessary for safety.
A spokesperson said: "The hedge cutting at JK Rowling's residence is annual maintenance that involves necessary traffic management for the safety of the general public. The intention is always to carry out the work with least disruption and the timing requires co-ordination and agreement with Edinburgh City Council.
"The work would ideally be scheduled in July, during the summer holidays, but due to other maintenance work in the area, it was agreed to take place this week instead."
Work to the 30-foot bushes began on Wednesday, January 24. It is expected to last until the end of the week.
One furious parent said: "Why can't they do it in the February breaks? They have hours through the day when the roads are quiet. No-one else gets the street shut down to cut their hedge."
Another added: "To cause traffic to come to a standstill at rush hour to cut a hedge doesn't make sense. [It has resulted] in my child and many others being late. I can't understand why the hedge can't be done at the weekend or at less busy times like 9.30am until 2.30pm."
