Hedges overgrown
Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 10:07, Thu 31 August 2023
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4944144.
Hedges have overgrown and not been cut where the roadworks have been for the new bypass. The road has now reopened and the hedge is over hanging the road, either scratching cars or forcing them to go to move into the middle of the road. Could this please be cut back, thank you.

This problem was reported in August from the dates here. I reported it today as I was unaware it had been reported previously. We are now the middle of October and the hedges have still not been cut back. Surely this should not take over six weeks to rectify.
