Growth blocking visibility

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 10:20, Thursday 30 July 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9871025.

The overgrown vegetation outside the property at 11 Loop Road North is causing visibility issues for drivers and causing issues for pedestrians.

This is a corner plot at the junction where Aikbank meets the A595.

We have been trying to get someone to take responsibility for this land outside our property and Cumberland Council have referred us to yourselves. They have partially cut the bank on the Aikbank side of the property out of a gesture of good will but have left the vegetation growing over onto the main a595 footpath and obscuring drivers view from the junction.

This is not only causing traffic and pedestrians issues it is overgrown the access to my father’s property.

Can you arrange for this to be cut and regularly maintained?
