I will want to plant some hedging there at some stage but I'm not sure whether I should get the trunks pulled up by digger, or whether we should try get it stump ground.grinding will mean the roots will be left and won't be able to replant Hedging. Whereas if i pulled up stumps then it will damage fence beside. Is the other solution for getting of the roots?

Get the roots pulled. If you dislodge the fence it can be hammered back in easily enough

You would need to be careful pulling the roots that you don't damage the road. Have them lifted and cut the roots a few feet before the road. As said the fence is easily repaired.
