Enforcement

If, once a remedial notice has been confirmed, or the works required are not done by the specified date, we have enforcement powers.

These take two forms:

1. to prosecute the person responsible for the hedge in the Magistrates Court;
   or
2. for the Council to carry out the specified works and to recover its costs from the person responsible for the hedge.

Which course of action we would take will depend upon the particulars of each case.
