Hedge and verge narrowing highway

Reported via mobile in the Box/Planters Enquiry category by Andy Osborn at 09:18, Saturday 1 February 2025

Sent to Island Roads 1 day, 23 hours, 34 minutes later. Enquiry ref: 16284870.

Hello. The verge and hedge on the day bike S bend, Newport Road, Bierley, outside of Vine Cottage, has been allowed to encroach on to the carriageway! This is impacting the space for two vehicles to pass safely.

It also reduces the space for pedestrians. The black and white posts are embedded in the hedge and no longer provide refuge safety space for pedestrians. This is important as there is no pavement.

I support speed reduction measures but this in my opinion does the opposite as vehicles are forced to cut across the centre line of corners - Or risk scratching the vehicle if they try to keep to the outside of the bend. Thank you for dealing with this.
