Foliage Obstruction - No roadside maintenance
Reported via desktop in the Verge/ visibility issue category anonymously at 17:31, Friday 7 August 2026
Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14217087.
The hedgerows along the A4169 Much Wenlock Road, between the Wyke Road turning and Oakdale, near the former Rock Public House, have not been cut back for several years. This section appears to be missed during the spring verge maintenance, and there seems to be no upkeep by the landowner which maybe Shropshire Council. The issue is particularly noticeable along the crash barriers, where saplings have taken root and can blow into the road during high winds and hang during frost and snow causing an obstruction. Overall, this is reducing the width of the road and starting to present a problem to high sided vehicles. What3words between: ///conveys.task.lushly AND ///bashed.wheat.setting
