Growth blocking view of oncoming traffic, hindering ability to safety turn right onto Church Road

Reported via desktop in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 15:43, Thursday 4 June 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9562178.

When you travel up the road, there is a filter lane to turn right down into Church Road. We have 148 staff that work at the Sevington Inland Border Facility and those that use that filer lane are reporting the vegetation has grown to a point where it now obscures site of the oncoming traffic, hindering the ability to make a safe right turn. It is a 40MPH road, however most vehicles exceed that and is heavily used by lorries, heading to the lorry park at Waterbrook Park.

  • 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.
