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

No chance of seeing oncoming motor cycles or smaller vehicles now. Especially when you are in a small vehicle yourself. Have to now move right into the oncoming traffic to cross both carriageways of the road to go down the access opposite to our cottages.

There will be an accident here soon unless the verges are cut. You can only see if you edge out into the traffic doing 50mph! And that was in an estate car. If you were in a sports car it would be even worse. This has happened every year for the last 3 or for years so why can't the council be proactive for once?

Thank you for your report and bringing this to our attention. This report has been closed, However, our programmed schedule for rural grass cutting has now started and all locations under Oxfordshire County Council maintenance will be attended to in the following weeks. If this location falls within Town or village limits, these works may be undertaken by your local District, Town or Parish Council. To add, all junctions/vision splays cuts have now been completed, meaning if they have become overgrown again (after the start of July) Can these please be reported via a new FMS so we can re-assess the area and make safe as needed. Kind regards
