Commenting as the pressure group Scothedge visited Parliament to voice its concerns over high hedges, Liberal Democrat MSP for Dunfermline West and Local Government Committee member Jim Tolson said:

“High hedges are a huge problem that affect people significantly right across Scotland.

“If neighbours can’t resolve disputes amicably, then we need laws in place to help them.

“There is cross party support for Scothedge’s proposals. I hope they will be implemented as part of the Government’s anti social behaviour bill."

Ends.
