In July 2022 the owner extended their drive and in doing so, drove over the grass verge. Due to them driving over the grass verge the area became very muddy. They have now added medium size pebbles to the grass area and this is now a H and S issue. There is a danger that our grass cutting contractor could damage his machines. Pebbles will very easily spread, potentially onto the road and therefore becoming a danger to traffic and passing vehicles.
