Removal of hedgerows ‘extreme and disgraceful’

A local councillor has slammed the removal of hedgerows in Newcastle and labelled the move as “extreme and disgraceful” in the midst of a biodiversity crisis.

The removal of hedgerows on the site of a development on Aylmer Road in Castlebaggot, Newcastle has been criticised as the world continues to face biodiversity loss.
