Vegetation just cut back. Debris left in road. Sweep required as this is a hazard and will end up washed down the drains causing yet more blockages.

  • We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because our current resources are extremely limited and we must focus on matters of a significant danger or nuisance to road users. We can, however, continue to monitor the site during our routine inspections and will review the situation Thank you for reporting this matter.

  • The vegetation protrudes the kerb by approx 18 inches, right in the cyclists line of use, if they were to slip on this or try to avoid it, perhaps into the path of a moving vehicle, it could be fatal, so I think this is a safety issue. Why it wasn't cleared up when cut back questions why half a job was done in the first place.
