LABOUR Party councillor Elena Secas is calling on Limerick City and County Council (LCCC) to introduce a Community Hedge Cutting Grant Scheme, similar to the schemes available in Clare, Leitrim and Cork.
“This scheme is a joint approach with local communities, resident groups and landowners to address the cutting of roadside overhanging hedges and trees.
“It will provide financial assistance to communities and local resident groups who wish to undertake overhanging trees and hedge cutting for safety reasons, and will also assist landowners to comply with their responsibilities under Section 70 of the 1993 Roads Act,” Cllr Secas explained.
