Diversion sign

A diversion sign is causing an obstruction that prevents drivers being able to clearly see the oncoming traffic. The sign must be repositioned to reduce the risk of accident. The hedge here was reduced recently to increase visibility and it has made a great difference to users of this junction and most importantly reduced the risk of accidents. The position of the diversion sign has compromised the increased visibility and increased risk. Surely this isn't something OCC should be allowing to happen!

This junction is a dangerous one especially for drivers coming from Cholsey on Westfield Road making a right turn, towards Blewbury. Yes, there's a sign on the Wantage/ Shortlands Hill Road coming from Streatley warning of a "Blind summit" but this junction is still problematic and - I think - dangerous to drivers, can additional measures be put in place for driver safety?
