The hedge and roadside verge at the junction of the road to Lookout with the A1068 is overgrown, resulting in very poor sight lines for vehicles joining the main road. Despite the nearby 30th speed restriction, vehicle speeds can be quite high and exiting the road end can be extremely difficult.

  • The cutting was done about 10 days after I initial report, however the visibility at the junction was still poor, so I cut the vegetation back further myself.
