Action scheduled
The evergreen bushes that start at the corner and continue down towards Kingscroft Court are very overgrown. When crossing from the village over to Station Road you have to stick your head right out into oncoming traffic to see whether there are any cars coming. The space is also very restricted on the pathway from Station Road in the village down to Kingscroft Court.

The evergreen bushes that start at the corner shown in the photo and continue down towards Kingscroft Court are very overgrown. When crossing from the village over to Station Road or vice versa you have to stick your head right out into oncoming traffic to see whether there are any cars coming. This is especially dangerous when there is a bus or lorry coming towards you. The space is also very restricted on the pathway from Station Road in the village down to Kingscroft Court.

Urgent safety concern:- Footpath width is now reduced to 50cm (20 inches) at the pathway corner of Fishponds Road & Station Road, therefore pedestrians often need to step into the road/oncoming traffic to pass, so are at increased risk from road traffic on this bus route. The conifer hedge is growing in the garden of 24/24a? Station Road.
