Lack of warning signs on this very bad bend

Reported in the Road traffic signs category anonymously at 10:14, Wed 5 December 2018

Sent to Leicestershire County Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 1478438.

There have been several incidents of vehicles simply not making it round this bend, resulting in several incidents of vehicles leaving the road and ending up in the hedge, ditch even the field on this corner. The most recent incident, last week, saw a car demolish botht rhe hedge and the fence and land up in the field, a field which often contains stock. The driver went straight between a tree and gatepost, with only centimetres either side and leapfrogged the ditch, which would give a fair indication of the speed travelled. The driver reported the incident to the police, but said that he had caused no damage, obviously a hedge and fence do not come under 'damage'. The road signs are out of date and not nearly prominent enough for the severity of the bend. Highways are waiting for a death.
