Grass verge destroyed

Reported via desktop in the Verges - Damaged by Vehicles category anonymously at 23:47, Fri 5 December 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8508423.

The grass verges that run along Vernon Road have been destroyed by cars continually parking on them. It looks awful and leaves mud on the pavement and roads and holes in the grass which are a trip hazard. The parking on the road is also dangerous for the crossing. I have nearly been hit multiple times because of parked cars cannot see safely, this is also near a primary school. It has been this way for years and its horrendous.
