• We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because this is only an issue coming off of a private drive onto the Highway there is nothing we can do as we only have powers to enforce the clearance of obstruction related to road users using the highway. Thank you for reporting this matter.

  State changed to: No further action

  This is the view from my driveway onto the highway. I cannot see onto a busy main road through the village. On the other side it gets rally bad in the summer as the brambles and growth go out into the road which is the issue. I am trying to stop and accident happening. The road is a busy road, we have had speed aware sign installed to slow traffic down. Please can you call me to review again, it’s the still Autumn/Spring not height of summer when the growth really comes and as I say it’s growing on the highway on the left hand side of my drive. No 1 Elm avenue. I would attach a picture but there is no additional space Many thanks.
