Ministers asked to prevent “hedge rage” with new legislation

Large hedges are "ruining lives"

By Cara Sulieman

MSPS ARE being urged to take action to prevent HEDGE RAGE from ruining lives.

A new nationwide campaign launched by ScotHedge calls on new laws to be introduced so planning chiefs can put an end to neighbour disputes.

Campaign leader Dr Colin Watson said: “We call it vegetation tyranny.”

“In the most extreme cases it can leave people living in terror from threats of violence and the need to involve the police.”
