Well it takes 5 guys and a truck driver 3 days to clean 20 feet of roadside, So I really doubt this effort will go far. Ever watched W and E guys work. I want their job Our roadsides are disgusting without tree over growth .

Trinity Church Rd. is another area. I agree with sending the bill to the landowners of the offensive property. Especially now that we are in hurricane season.

There are too many areas around the island where trees are left hanging over our roadways and people expect gov’t to cut back, and at the same time crying foul about the same conditions. If Gov’t has to cut any trees back on any private property the owner should have to pay at the going rate and not for free.

Start at St Johns church and proceed west towards Gorhams. Bring a big truck.

when leaving industrial park road in SOUTHAMPTON and trying to head east, you literally have to inch out to the yellow line to see oncoming traffic from hamilton. Trees from the garden on the westbound lane are such a hazard

They did this on our road as out neighbor had overhanging trees. They then let all the cuttings in the street, and I ended up having to clear them up as the neighbors and/or their landlord didn’t have to drive that far along the street to access their property so had zero incentive to do anything.

Well, it’s about time. Let’s start on Ord Road before someone gets serious injured or worse.

And if you don’t cut your trees/hedges what happens? You get served a notice and then gov cuts them for free? Maybe roadside property owners should be made to pay for the cost or fined when gov workers are called out to trim their overhanging vegetation. Another great way to generate money for the gov.
