HOLYROOD ?
With the Summer recess days away and no consultancy launched or amendment tabled it would be somewhat unwise to assume any serious thinking going on behind the Enrico Morales bundle of sticks.
The English Legislation has self imploded by being so constrictive in its definitions of a hedge that it has forgotten that it is the problem caused by badly deployed plants which needs dealing with, not the definition of a species.
Lets us hope that the elephantine gestation period of the Holyrood Bill birth will result in a good, intelligent and fair Scottish Bill, nothing like the Westminster Bill.
Formed in 1998, Hedgeline(www.hedgeline.org) is a large lobby and
support group with over 4,000 members throughout the U.K. The Scottish Branch,
Scothedge, was formed to lobby the devolved Holyrood Parliament in order to
gain legislation to overcome the unfair power of high hedge owners to ignore
the impact of their excessive hedges upon neighbours.
Scothedge provides members
with comprehensive advice and information drawing upon the practical experience
of thousands of hedge victims.
