The area around a parking bay needs to be trimmed
Reported in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 15:04, Tue 20 August 2019
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways 1 minute later. ref: 1738518.
This parking bay is surrounded by trees and shrubs and has never be trimmed or tidied in the 5 years that I have lived here. Twice this year I have cut back the vegetation myself. Now, my 98 and 99 year old neighbours (at 38 York Close) are discussing paying for this area to be tidied, or worse, doing it themselves! At least two trees at the back of the parking bay overhang their garden and then round the front of the parking bay, anyone who parks there has to fight with the vegetation when they get in or out of their car. Please fix this so that my neighbours don't hurt themselves. Thank you.

Thank you for your enquiry. A works ticket will be issued to cut back overhanging vegetation, this will be completed within the next 6 months. On most occasions, we are undertaking the works sooner. (Average time currently 6 - 8 weeks)

I'm still awaiting an update please. This was raised in August, chased in October and it is nearly December.

I was told that you have completed this work? I can see no visible difference! I'm astounded. Please see my photos, honestly it is no better! Also, I reported that a tree in this parking bay is overhanging my neighbour's garden and it has not been touched. Photos 1-3 show how the vegetation is right up to the edge and will soon grow back. It needs much better trimming than this. PLEASE revisit and fix this asap.
