Property owners have until March 1 to cut their hedges
Laois County Council issued a reminder to Landowners who are planning to cut hedges in the coming months.
The council said that “the period for Hedge Cutting runs from 1st September 2024 to 28th February 2025. There is an onus on landowners to ensure that any trees and hedges on their property:
Do not obstruct or interfere with the safe use of the public road.
Do not obstruct or interfere with the maintenance of the public road.
Do not pose a hazard to people using the public road.”
The council said hedgerows along the public road that require cutting or trimming back should be cut and all cuttings removed from the roads and verges. Adequate signposting should also be provided.
“Roadside trees should be inspected and necessary action taken to prevent any potential hazard to the public. Such inspections should be carried out by suitably qualified personnel,” the council stated.
They said liability for damage or injury resulting from such hazards will rest with the landowner/occupier.
“Please note that where JAPANESE KNOTWEED occurs it SHOULD NOT BE CUT. No ground disturbance should take place at these sites at any time of year. Please report all locations to Michael Buckley in the Roads Department at RoadsAdmin@laoiscoco.ie or phone 057 8664000,” the council said.
The council thanked landowners for their cooperation.
