I don’t agree. I think that those who have offending foliage should be given a warning, then a fine, then another even higher fine weekly until the situation is corrected. I have had to call a neighbour a number of times to say that his overgrown trees are scratching up my car. Because he does not travel along this part of his property, he does not see its condition, however the person he employs to maintain it does know. I have had to trim the area back myself at times! There is also an abandoned property that has hedges growing into a lane that I use daily, & I’ve cut them back as well at times. Get a relative to do it or hire someone who is in need of work to help you. The road crews have enough to do without having to maintain others’ property! It unfairly transfers the burden to the road crews; if you can afford to have the property, you can afford to maintain it to the standards needed for public safety!

I say they should give the property owners a warning and if they don’t cut them public works cut them and send them the bill. They need to be held accountable. Keep Bermuda beautiful people have some pride.

There are some very,very thick overhanging brances of an old tree on Middle Rd Smith, on the corner west of Mosquito Hill. It is an attractive sight but if these branches were to crack and break in a strong wind, it would be disastrous. They need to be cut back from the road before there is a tragedy.

Shut the entire place down! Harrington Sound Road near Tom Moore’s is embarrassing. The number of roads with over-grown foliage is unprecedented. Who is managing this place that is supposed to be a tourist attraction?
