Overgrown vegetation dangerously obscuring view on roundabout

Reported via desktop in the Vegetation (grass/hedges/trees) (NH) category anonymously at 16:04, Tue 22 March 2022

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3408255.

Coming off the southbound M5 and travelling around to the Weston turning, there's a large amount of overgrown vegetation inside the island which obscures the drivers view as they're about to cross above the motorway. Queues often back up onto the motorway here and there's a risk that a (admittedly inattentive) driver might suddenly find a stationary vehicle in the lane in front of them. If the vegetation is cut down to barrier level then drivers will be able to see around the corner.
