Overgrown hedges causing obstructions to road users in south Kildare - Cllr

Councillor Martin Miley has called on the Council to work with landowners to cut overgrown hedges in south Kildare.

The politician claimed hedgerows are causing an obstruction to road users particularly in Belan, Mullaghmast, Usk, Kilrush, Ballyvass and other areas.

Cllr Miley aims to raise the issue at the next meeting of Athy Municipal District.

The Roads Section of Kildare Co Council regularly carries out hedge cutting at locations to improve road safety.

Councillors and members of the public can make specific requests for works in areas where they believe visibility can be improved for road users.
