Cyclists have problems with overhanging vegetation or hedge trimmings left on the routes they use. Debris can cause punctures or even serious injury if it gets caught in wheels...
CTC View (formal statement of CTC's policy):
- Those responsible for trimming vegetation should do so regularly and in accordance with best practice
- Local authorities and the police should actively pursue and, as necessary, prosecute offenders
- Overhanging vegetation and debris along routes used by cyclists, both on and off-road, should be regularly and attentively cleared.
