Obstructing view of oncoming traffic

Reported via desktop in the Trees affecting highways or pavements category anonymously at 18:34, Tue 15 April 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7440455.

Reported last year and can’t see that anything has changed. Leaves starting to grow on saplings/trees which means that view of traffic travelling from Staion Road is totally blocked when trying to turn off the bridge to travel to Drs surgery on Whitton Bank Rd. Once leaves have fully grown you just have to pull out hoping that nothing is travelling round the corner. Can’t understand why sapling can’t just be cut back? Thankyou
