Dangerous Lack of Visibility at Junction
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
The verge needs cutting on Oxford Rd north of Old Parr Road junction. The length of grass and weeds is reducing the visibility of cars heading up the hill to traffic emerging from the junction and causing vehicles to have to edge out into the road to see if it is clear. Other verges have recently been cut but this one has not been done. The same thing happened last yesr and it took numerous reports to get it resolved. Between OCC and CDC please resolve this report of a dangerous situation instead of just closing down the report. Fix My Street is supposed to be one forum for all reports and not for the public to work out what is OCC resposibiulity and what is CDC responsibility.

Thank you for your enquiry. Oxfordshire County Council, as the Highway Authority, is ultimately responsible for the maintenance of grass verges alongside the carriageway network throughout Oxfordshire (excluding motorways and trunk roads). Under our new approach, all roadside verges in both rural and urban areas are cut once a year. If necessary, we will trim areas that impede driver visibility more regularly. For more details, you can refer to our Highway Verge and Vegetation Management policy at https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/ sites/ default/ files/ file/ roads-and-transport-major-projects/ grasscuttingpolicy.pdf
