Time to spring to action: March 1 is hedge-cutting deadline
Properly maintained hedges ensure vulnerable road users are not forced onto the road by overgrown hedges.
Landowners now have only two days left to legally cut overgrown hedges, which can pose a road safety hazard and put lives at risk.
Hedge-cutting is prohibited from March 1 to August 31 each year, except in cases where overgrowth poses a road safety hazard. Hedges can be cut, however, between September 1 and the end of February.
