Overgrown grass verge on A442

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14178033.

Overgrown grass verge on A442 is obscuring vision of oncoming traffic. It is becoming increasingly dangerous when turning onto the A442. This is a fast road with no warning signs of emerging traffic. In addition, this stretch of the A442 is frequently used for cycling events, making it even more dangerous for both vehicles and cyclists.

    I believe your routine maintenance to rectify this problem was carried out a couple of days ago. Unfortunately the overgrown grass verge has not been cut back far enough from the road to increase visibility on the the right when pulling out onto the busy A442. See photo taken this morning. Near miss with a cyclist this morning! Can only see oncoming traffic if it is a highsided vehicle. The approach to the A442 has a gradient so am lower down than the A442 when trying to pull out.
