Tipperary County Council wishes to give notice that under the terms of the Roads Act, 1993, Landowners and occupiers of lands are obliged to take all reasonable care to ensure that trees, shrubs, ditches, hedges and other vegetation growing on their lands are not or could not become a danger to those using a public road or to somebody carrying out maintenance or improvement work on the road.

Examples of hazards include dead or dying trees, ditches or hedges that interfere with traffic, block footpaths, or obscure road signs or the view of the road ahead. You are required to fell, cut, log, trim, or remove such trees, ditches, and hedges.

Please see the attached ''A Guide for Landowners to Managing Roadside Trees" to understand your responsibilities.

If you wish to advise Tipperary County Council of a structure, tree, or hedge adjoining a public road which is considered to be dangerous, please contact the Customer Services Department.
