If anyone has ever experienced withnessing a Council tractor .. cutting hedges ... Why do they not have a another vehicle .. like a mini roadsweeper to gather up all the debris such as hawthorn bushes .. and bramble bushes ...
If the Council has any actual brain cells I wouldn't be posting this topic .. .

I'm sure I recall a farmer getting fined for this - there's something like £1000 penalty for not clearing up the clippings.0

@BM You are correct, I read an article about a lady with severe mobility difficulties who was riding a recumbent. Farmer/contractor was trimming hedges and she sustained a double deflation, her phone didn't work and she was placed in a life-threatening situation which the court decided was due to the actions of the farmer/contactor. Apparently there is a duty, on the part of the operative, to clean the mess up. :shock:
