Tree branches are overgrowing around the lamposts in various places along this stretch of road. When the trees come back into leaf the light from the lamp posts is completely blotted out. This has been reported previously numerous time to NCC. NBC & Balfour Beattie but no one seems to want to take responsibility to deal with it. Arms could be added to the posts to bring the lamps out over the road away from the trees and a few more lamps could be put in near the Fire Station where it is very dark.

Problems on Northamptonshire’s public highways are categorised according to their severity and risk; prompting differing response times and investigatory levels that vary significantly depending on the hazards involved and whether they are on the public carriageway, footway, kerb, or an issue with roadside gullies, drainage, etc. We are presently undergoing a review of our environmental resources during this growing season and will endeavour to address reported problems of overgrowing trees and vegetation (if the responsibility of the County Council) this year, within the constraints of the Northamptonshire Highways financial budget for 2019/20. However, please be assured that the safety of carriageways, footways and roadside gullies will continue to be monitored through the Northamptonshire Highways routine safety inspection programme.
