69. Trees and hedges to be lopped and trimmed
(1) Where, in the opinion of a highway authority, a road for which it is
responsible, or the lighting over such road, or the passage on it, is likely to
be injured, impeded or obstructed on account of trees or hedges on any land
adjoining the road, it may, by notice in writing, require the owner or occupier
of the land to lop the trees, or trim the hedges, within such time as may be
specified in the notice.
(2) Any person who fails to comply with a notice served under subsection (1) shall commit an offence and the highway authority may, on such
non-compliance, cause the trees to be lopped, or the hedges to be trimmed,
at the expense of that person, and the expense shall be recoverable against
that person as if it were a civil debt.
