Hedges
Many residents within the Parish will have a hedgerow along part of their property boundary. The Parish Council would like to take this opportunity to remind home owners of their legal responsibility to maintain and manage their hedges (Highway Act 1980). Overgrown hedges that encroach on a public highway result in reduced space for drivers to pass, which makes the road more dangerous for everyone. Overgrown hedges that encroach on to the footway mean that pedestrians are forced to walk on the road. We are used to seeing farmers out completing this task every year, and homeowners need to do the same. If you have a hedge on your property, please take some time over the next couple of weeks to ensure that it does not grow past the boundary line of your property on to any public highway or footpath. Thank you
