Reports

• The vegetation in middle of road is blocking view. If crossing the A5 towards Cannock once in the middle of the road you cannot see the A5 when you join the road. It is very dangerous because of the growing vegetation. What I cannot understand is further down the A5 the verges have been cut and the most important part (the middle verge) has been left. Lions Den is used regularly by many drivers to join the A5 .
