Restricts view

Reported via Android in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 16:05, Wed 17 July 2024

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6242021.

The hedge is overgrown and restricts view when turning right, the residents never cut the hedge, which makes it hard to see when pulling onto the road. I nearly had a motorbike crash into my car as we didn't see each other. Which scared me and has made me complain. It is a bad road as school parents always park on road opposite or close so always careful as it's always blocked. Would like double yellow lines on one side of cockley road as it's chaotic with parking. Making it difficult for residents who live here to get out.
