The access to Little Forest Lodge is on the eastern side of the A31 (BH24 3HS), and overgrown vegetation is severely restricting visibility of approaching traffic.

This is an urgent road safety concern. The nettles, bushes and overgrown greenery at the entrance to Little Forest Lodge (BH24 3HS), on the eastern side of the A31, are severely obstructing visibility when exiting the property onto the A31.
This issue has been present for approximately a month and has become increasingly dangerous as the vegetation has continued to grow. I cannot see approaching traffic clearly until I am already at the junction, meaning I have to pull out further than is safe to get a clear view of the road.
Given the speed and volume of traffic on the A31, this creates a serious risk of a collision and puts both residents leaving the property and approaching road users in danger.
The vegetation needs to be cut back as a matter of urgency to restore safe visibility at the junction. Please could this be inspected and actioned as soon as possible, before a serious accident occurs.
