Overgrown verge

Reported via iOS in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 06:07, Wed 29 May 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6032338.

Photo of this report zoom

The verge is overgrown and is 5ft in hieght this is a danger to life as the photo shows a very obscured view and this is from a van so seat is raised. When in a car view is completely obscured and to pull out of orchard close you have to be fully in road to see if clear

Updates

  • Agreed with recent report. There is a 40 mph limit, but often vehicles exceed this. The entrance is not very visible despite the road sign. There will be an accident unless the verge is cut. A solid line in the road might also deter overtaking in that spot, further ensuring the safety of vehicles exiting from Orchard close.

  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.

    If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.

    Kind regards National Highways
