The grass on the verge is causing an obstruction and is a risk to life

Reported via desktop in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 10:11, Fri 17 May 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5985503.

The grass on the verge is so overgrown it is impossible to see the approaching traffic when trying to cross the road into Barrowby village. This path is used by children walking to school as well as dog walkers, cyclists and runners and is extremely dangerous.

  • Not sure why but some of the grass has been cut, making no difference whatsoever? As you can see from photo number 1, you still cannot see down the hill to the oncoming traffic and in the other direction (photo 2) the grass is over 5ft tall and is only just passable. I thought maybe the job had been started but this was done over 4 days ago now?
