Overgrown hedge/bushes blocking path and making pedestrians have to walk onto busy slip road around the overgrowth.

Reported via desktop in the Pavement/footpath/cycleway/bridleway issue (NH) category anonymously at 18:05, Mon 1 July 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6178329.

Location 51.720589, 0.527590

Overgrown hedge/bushes completely blocking path for pedestrians trying to cross road from junction 18 A12 bridge to get to the park n ride. Pedestrians are having to walk around the overgrowth and into extremely busy slip road. Sight blind to oncoming traffic beyond the growth. Only a matter of short time before someone is knocked down by a vehicle. This has been here for a year and obviously getting progressively worse due to spring/ summer growth.
