Local landowners are being reminded that permission to cut hedges will end on March 1st.

The Road Safety Authority and the County and City Management Association are calling on landowners in Tipperary to take necessary action to ensure they’re not causing a potential road safety hazard for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

The annual ban will be in place until the end of September, in accordance with the Wildlife Act.
