A Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging problem has been found by West Northamptonshire Council-
Related to the bus stop opposite Aldi in kingsthorpe, Northampton. Grose's garage stop. It is not possible to see buses coming due to obstruction by trees. When a bus comes, you have 1 or 2 seconds to react or they drive past. Also, the useless sign which mentions driving too fast (which drivers have no time to read) uses the same colours as a bus number number notification board (above the driver) so it always looks like a bus is coming. This leads to leaning toward the road which is incredibly dangerous. The tree nearest the bus stop needs to be removed to allow better visibility.
