Lots of places I can think of around the town that would benefit from hedge removal on junctions to improve visibility. I presume it costs the council tens of thousands of euros to do this sort of thing per improvement, if the cost of any recent improvements are anything to go by. Maybe farmers or other landowners could remove hedges themselves, or at least cut them really low and save KCC money. They have to plant twice the amount of hedge they remove according to this Irish Farmers Journal article. Is there lots of red tape involved I wonder?
