6th September 2004
It appears that one of the weekend papers raised the profile of the impending High Hedge legislation and that has given rise to an increase in calls to Local Authority officers today.
The AA has checked with the ODPM (Office of the Deputy Prime Minister) and there has been no change to the intended implementation date for the legislation, namely "the end of the year" (2004). Until implementation Local Authorities have no power to take action under the impending Anti Social Behaviour legislation.
