These trees are so overgrown there is virtually no pathway left but now they are making it dangerous for drivers who are exiting Constable Drive trying to turn right along Warkton Lane towards Barton Road. Visibility is severely restricted and drivers end up guessing and chancing it when trying to turn right, making accidents likely. Please contact the owner of No.1 Constable Drive to cut back immediately, thank you

  • Owner still has not cut this hedge back despite being requested to by NNC. Motorists' and cyclists' view of oncoming traffic is still blocked when exiting Constable Drive making it very dangerous. Also hardly any footpath for pedestrians to walk along.
