Tall grass / nettles / vegatation encroacing into the road
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later
The grass verges at the far end of the lane in Emmington OX39 4AA have not been cut at all. This is reducing the width of the road, making it difficult for vehicles to pass without scratching down their side and difficult for pedestrians to move out of the way of vehicles. The bottom half of the lane near the Inn at Emmington has been cut, but not the top half.

Thank you for your enquiry. This issue has been passed onto the relevant team for investigation.

Still no update or action. Overhanging brambles, Cows Parsnip, Nettles and other very tall vegetation is scratching down the sides of cars causing damage. Will the Highways pay for this damage to be repaired? This is on top of the hazard to pedestrians who are unable to get out of the way of cars, tractors, builders vans etc

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
