Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 17:20, Mon 16 June 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7718724.

The bus stop had trees over hanging and making it imposible to pull in to the bus stop to drop a student off, this is causing damage to our double decker buses and also posing a huge health and safty risk to students we are transporting due to the risk to the bus being stuck from behind espcial as it is a 50MPH speed limit on the road. this is on a ncc school contract and as such will be roporting to there compliance team as if the issue is not receterfied imerdiatly we will may be for to stop runnin gthe service on safty grounds. i am happy to talk to somone regarding the issues as i will be reporting many issues, if needs be i would be happy to go out on the run to show the issues we are facing. i look forward to hearing from you as a matter of urgency
