School bus operator warns of road safety risk due to overgrown hedges

A lorry has sustained damage as a result of overhanging branches in the Glenties Municipal District.

Meanwhile, a school bus operator has warned that it is only a matter of time before they will be unable to use certain roads due to overgrown hedges.

Cllr Michael McClafferty is once again appealing to landowners to take responsibility for hedge cutting, as this is not the responsibility of Donegal County Council.

He has also warned that landowners could be liable in the event of a collision caused by obstructions from overgrown greenery:
