Bramble trouble

Hi im asking as my Mam needs advice.

Her neighbour has thick bramble and thorny type bushes overgrowing into her property. She has asked him to cut them back but as yet he hasn't done so. My Mam is unable to tackle the task herself. She has tried to prune the branches but being in her 70's and in poor health it's clearly a job too hard to handle.

Me and my brother don't live local to her to help.

How does she deal with this issue can she just apply some industrial weedkiller or ask the council for help as before long these hardy brambles will be running wild in her garden too and to be honest knowing her neighbour he's unlikely to care as he doesn't now.

Thanks

:)

    Is she in a council house or private property?

    I think roundup could be the answer
