Ferns are still hanging over into the road and are getting worse

Reported via desktop in the Blocking visibility on road/junction (Grass/verge) category anonymously at 15:40, Tuesday 23 July 2024

The ferns, due to their height and the weather beaten them down are further into the road and scratching the sides of the vehicles travelling down this road from no. 9 to the main Yorkley road with no view of vehicles or people walking.The previous report was

Web Reference: 6246211 Enquiry Number: 22054429 Issue: General Verge Issues Location: The Mount Pleasant road has ferns pushing out into the road, nowhere to pass pedestrians and no visibility on the blind corners, one of which is 90 degree.

Exiting Mount Pleasant onto the Yorkley Road is dangerous as the height of the grass and ferns blocks the vision Site: MOUNT PLEASANT

The only thing that has been done is the cutting of the grass around the sign and the other side my neighbour did that to make it safe. This road needs a double cut by a flail mower
