Up here such a hazard can be addressed by implementation of Section 93 of The Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. I suspect The Highways Act is the equivalent in England and Wales. This refers to a hazard affecting the public highway. If the roads in question are all private I'm not sure how you could approach it legally.
"93.—(1) If, in the opinion of the roads authority, anything which is on land beside or near to a road—
(a) but is not itself a building constitutes a danger to road users and there is no other provision of this Act under or by virtue of which they may take steps to obviate the danger, they shall, under this subsection, take such steps;"
I'd suggest you contact the local roads authority and ask for their opinion.
