Long grass obscures view

Reported via desktop in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 11:50, Tue 2 September 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8107868.

The long grass on the central reservation makes it very difficult to see what is approaching from Northampton, as you are waiting to turn across the carriageway into Blisworth.

I reported this issue months ago, yet nothing has been done about it and the report appears to have been closed off without action!

This is already an extremely dangerous junction, and having the view obscured by the long grass makes it even more so. The council cut all the grass verges around Silverstone on the A43 in advance of the F1 GP, yet this stretch remains unmaintained. Please remedy immediately!

  • 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
