Dangerously limited visability
Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14149591.
This is a hairpin bend, with traffic giving way travelling south. Visibility impaired severely, so unable to see oncoming (priority) traffic, travelling at speed down the hill and expecting to have oncoming cars giving way. Head-on collision here likely shortly unless something actioned.

Following previous report - thanks for cutting the grass and the road-side part of the hedge. However, the issue compromising visibility has not really been addressed (see photo). The far-side of the hedge and overgrowing trees/shrubs are causing the problem which persists. I witnesses another near-miss here earlier this week with an oncoming vehicle with priority assuming the road would be clear, only to find a car inching across the bridge trying to see around the corner.

Having reported in June and again in July, this still remains a hazard with impaired visibility at this hairpin. However, having left this unattended - due to the inevitable passing of time, autumn will come to the council's aid and the leaves will fall from these deciduous hedges/trees. Hopefully that will provide sufficient time to address properly before springtime?
