Why as a smallholder don't I have to worry about keeping my roadside hedge from overhanging the road, but a suburban gardener must? Must he? I thought all a suburban gardener had to do was keep the hedge from overhanging the pavement? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I presume you do not have a pavement to overhang. True, but why is a pavement different from a road in this respect? Because roads are used by lorries and cars, whereas pavements are intended for pedestrians, who may be injured by overhanging bushes. Wouldn't it be great if sensible logic like that could be shown to be the basis of our laws? Then you might even be able to argue successfully that you don't actually need to cut back a hedge unless it presents a hazard. Though it would be nice to think that the law really does have such little regard for horse riders, cyclists and motor cyclists. They think they are regarded as 2nd class citizens, and you may have found the proof :-) Michael Saunby |
