Unkept trees, hedges, and ditches can quickly become a safety hazard if not maintained.
Landowners are being reminded that trees, hedges, ditches and other vegetation close to highways needs to be maintained before bird nesting season begins.
Overgrown vegetation can prevent roads and paths from being safe by blocking paths and restricting the view of the highway.
Landowners are responsible for maintaining foliage on their land, even if it is close to a road or pavement. They have a duty of care to take reasonable steps to prevent risk.

If you have trees overhanging footpaths or roads please be aware of this.
Make sure we can see the road signs.
