Introduction
Carmarthenshire is a predominantly rural area where agriculture plays a key role in supporting the local economy. As the second largest County in Wales we have an extensive highway network which stretches over 3500km of roads with much of the network providing important access linking rural market towns, villages and settlements.
Working in partnership with landowners, and particularly the farming community, is vital to ensure we all play our part in maintaining a safe and accessible highway network and that we safeguard important habitats.
This helps to explain the roles and responsibilities of both the Highway Authority, Carmarthenshire County Council, and adjacent land owners on a range of related issues including road safety, roadside hedges and trees, highway verges, roadside ditches and grips, mud on the highway and Public Rights of Way.
