Hedges and footpaths

We are at the time of year when trees and hedges are growing again.

The council often receives complaints about overgrown hedges and trees, particularly where these obstruct pavements, signs and street lights.

Please can we ask that residents maintain their hedges and trees so that they do not obstruct the pavements, roads, street lights nor signs.

It is usually the legal responsibility of residents to ensure that their trees/hedges do not infringe the highway or pavement. Problem hedges can be reported to North Yorks County Council via their website.
