Reduced schedule of roadside verge cutting to continue in NI
A reduced schedule of cutting on roadside verges is to continue in Northern Ireland, in the absence of an agreed budget.
To maintain sightlines at junctions and prevent the obstruction of road signs cutting in those areas will happen at least twice a year,The Department of Infrastructure has said one cut will be carried out late in the growing season on lighter-trafficked rural roads.
"This new approach aims to maintain the right balance between road safety and the control of grass and weeds while achieving a greater focus on environmental protection," said Infrastructure Minister John O'Dowd.
