Overgrown verge dangerous

Reported via mobile in the Grass cutting problem category anonymously at 10:42, Wednesday 28 August 2024

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14153995.

The verge along the full length of Brookside is dangerously overgrown and has not been cut at all this year. This is now causing visibility for cars and pedestrians. This has been reported previously but still not addressed by the council. The council verge mowing schedule states that the verge will be mowed monthly between March to October and twice in Setember. This failure to maintain the verges by the council is causing real risk to the safety of individuals.

  • I was informed by local councillor 2 weeks ago that this work was considered to be urgent. I am therefore disappointed to receive this response today that it will be done as part of routine work This growth is excessive an d a potential risk to the safety of pedestrians and road users. Can I please ask for an expected timeline for this work. Can I also please ask that someone contacts me either by email or phone. 07557673265. As you will see there have been several reports over the past month about this issue. The council have a responsibility for ensuring that the area is maintained in a correct and timely manner to maintain public safety.
