Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 18 February 2008.
Hedges
- Question
- My Lords, is not the success of this measure the fact that many people nationally now know not to abuse the law and simply do not grow their hedges so high? It is not true that that has been the subject of many complaints to Members of Parliament in the other House?
- Answer
-
Yes, my Lords, that is absolutely right. One of the Act’s ambitions was precisely that: to encourage people to settle their disputes—perhaps not amicably but as best they could—over the hedge, literally; and that is what has happened. Very few people go to the fuss and bother of taking the issue to local authorities.
