Hedge Cutting Notice
Leitrim County Council wishes to remind all landowners and occupiers, under the terms of the Roads Act 1993, that it is their legal responsibility to carry out any necessary tree or hedge cutting where their land or property abuts the public road so as to ensure that any trees/hedges or other vegetation are not a hazard to people using the public road.
Hedge Cutting should only be carried out during the period from 1st September to the end of February, annually. Hedgerows, trees or other vegetation along the public road that require cutting or trimming back should be cut immediately and all cuttings removed from the roads and verges. Adequate signposting should be provided while hedge cutting works are in progress.
