Under the terms of the Roads Act 1993, landowners & occupiers of land are obliged to take all reasonable care to ensure that the trees, ditches, hedges and other vegetation growing on their land are not or could not become a danger to people using or working on a public road.
As landowner/occupier you are required to fell, cut, log, trim or remove such trees, ditches and hedges to prevent them from becoming a hazard to persons or property in the area.
Examples of hazards include dead or dying trees, ditches or hedges interfering with traffic, blocking footpaths, obscuring road signs or obscuring a clear view of the road ahead.
If a member of the public wishes to advise Limerick City and County Council of a structure/ tree or hedge adjoining a public road which is considered to be dangerous, please contact the Travel and Transportation Department on +353 61 556453 or +353 61 556575.
