Hi There, could you please advise a further update with regards to the obstruction above. I have attached a further photo showing another near miss as not being able to see round the tree due to it being pitch black. Let’s hope this matter can be resolved before an accident or incident occurs. The tree is leaning over the road too. Thankyou for your continued support it’s very much appreciated
