Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 1 week, 1 day, 1 hour, 12 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 6518532.
The hedgerow to the right of the bus stop (towards Aylesbury) is over grown. My 11 year old is the only child using the 110 bus to Lord Williams school and has to step out towards the road, in rush hour, to flag the bus down. He cannot be seen otherwise by the oncoming driver. This seems incredibly dangerous on a very fast road. It is therefore not possible for him to use the bus shelter as it is invisible to the bus driver, the hedge covers blocks all visability. As a result we have to use the bus stop at New Road, Dinton as this is slightly more visable. However the hedge still blocks the view for the driver and my son cannot wait in the bus shelter. Again he has to step into the edge of the verge to be seen. This seems very dangerous on such a fast road. Both shelters require the surrounding hedgerow to be cut back.

Update
Buckinghamshire Highways operates two methods for safety defect identification; proactively by Highway Inspectors who identify safety defects in line with Highways Safety Inspection Policy and reactively by Highway Officers following reports from the public.We are responsible for the maintenance of 2,200 miles of road and 1,500 miles of footpaths in Buckinghamshire, this means we have to prioritise works based on a set criteria which includes issues which may present an immediate danger, or significant inconvenience to users of the roads/footpaths, or to the structural condition of the highway and assets contained with the highway boundary.
Whilst priority defects will receive a repair within appropriate timescales as dictated by the above policy, more minor defects such as the defect you have reported may not be immediately scheduled for repair.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
