Overgrown verges still dangerously obstructing view

Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 19:37, Tue 2 July 2024

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6183619.

I reported this problem last weekend. A third party (one of the local houses I think) then on the same day (a Saturday) partially cut back some of the grass verge making it not quite so dangerous. However it is still very dangerous and you need to still pull out partially onto the highway, from Salcey Lawn, to actually see what oncoming traffic there is on the public highway and so therefore the problem is not solved. Please can you arrange for someone from the Council to come and cut the verges, either side and with a proper vision splay and behind the posts and do a proper job.
