Road sign obscured by vegetation

Reported via mobile in the Overhanging Vegetation from private land category anonymously at 12:15, Fri 23 June 2023 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4708254.

The road sign approaching the Crofton Lane mini roundabout from the west is obscured by conifers from the flats and a newly planted council tree (lack of joined up thinking). Please arrange for the conifers to be cut back and the council tree to be moved (otherwise there's no point having the road sign).
