Minimal grass cutting allowed along hedge rows until September
Councillor Noel Coonan asked if there was any good news concerning the issue of hedge cutting at this month’s Municipal District meeting.
“Some people are really putting their lives at risk, it’s gone so overgrown. I think it needs to be addressed,” he said.
He was told by a council official that they were guided by biodiversity guidelines and the National Parks and Wildlife to ensure minimal grass cutting along hedge rows until September.
“At this point in time, we’re only doing junctions, where there is a high risk. A lot of the back roads are overgrown. People will have to slow down,” he said.
Residents should make representations about particularly overgrown areas.
