Gobowen Roundabout

Reported via mobile in the Amenity grass issue category anonymously at 22:02, Wednesday 1 July 2026

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14214629.

This has been reported previously by myself. The roundabout is completely overgrown and I witnessed a large wagon coming from the bypass. Enter the roundabout and block access for other cars as it couldn’t see to the other side of the exits. There are some silver birch trees that are being completely overpowered by invasive laurels the bushes are completely overgrown. The grass is high. It needs complete ongoing management. There is a memorial multi stemmed Silverbirch tree which is being completely overrun and this problem needs to be addressed quickly the whole of the roundabout needs an assessment by a professional tree person or gardener is totally unacceptable and I’ve heard this from many many residents that I’ve spoken to. I wonder if you could come and look at it and get a workforce to cut down the invasive laurel and make good all the other trees that need to grow with free space around them .
