Hedge Cutting Notice

The Parish Council would like to remind householders and landowners of their responsibilities to cut back any hedges, shrubs or trees that may be overhanging the pavements or footpaths bordering their property. This is to ensure the safety of pedestrians and allow sufficient space, where possible, for the use of wheelchairs and buggies. Please ensure the full width of a pavement is kept clear, ideally with a minimum cleared width of 1.1 metres (3ft 7inches).  Head clearance should be a minimum of 2.1 meters (approx 7 ft). Please check your hedges and shrubs prior to cutting back to ensure there are no active nests present.
