Tidy up those Hedges!

It's that time of year again when we ask you to get those hedges trimmed and help to keep our highways and byways safe and tidy. The States is committed to not using glyphosate to kill the weeds which has caused a lot more to spring up along the roads and pathways. It's time-consuming and expensive in manpower to have the States clear them so why not get out there and help by clearing the one's in front of your homes. A little community spirit can go a long way...

For a reminder of the regulations, check out our Hedges (cutting of) under the Information tab or follow this link. 

You have from the 1-14th June to get those hedges in order, after which the Douzeniers of your parish will pull on their walking boots and spend a fortnight checking the routes.

If you receive a green slip reminding you of your responsibilities, you will have a further 7 days to comply. There is a fine for those who don't do as required after that time, but the parish would rather not be collecting them, so let's get strimming, clipping and snipping!
