The hedge and bushes are over growing in to the road. This is located on the left side of the road as you leave the village of Shrivenham. At points you can no longer see the kerb of the road. This extends into the road in some places by more than 6 inches, it is causing traffic exiting the village to cross over the centre double white lines into the oncoming traffic and has potential cause an accident when there are larger vehicles coming towards such as a bus or tractor. The issue has been reported previously and still nothing has been done to get the overgrowth cut or the fallen leaves and debris out of the road.

  • This is still an issue, last night I was faced with a bus coming towards me on the wrong side of the road caused by the hedge being so over grown. This is going to cause an accident at some point if it is not resolved.
