I have moved into a house next to a main road. Does anyone have
any advice
on how I can minimise traffic noise please ? I do not want a wall
or fence.
What plants are best for this - I've been thinking of a hedge in
which case
any advice on what sort of hedge please ?

In which part of the country do you live?

?
Is the road noise 'less' in certain areas?
?

Yes - depending on the road surface used. There is special noise
reduced asphalt !

Well "Berkshire" as an answer would be no good because the Newbury Bye-
Pass is of the new 'quiet' Asphalt, but other parts of Berkshire are
noisy. The question was 'In which part of the country do you live?' Not
'Which type of road surface is contributing to the noise?'
