Still overgrown on major corner!

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility category anonymously at 08:55, Mon 8 September 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8134182.

Overgrown Brambles prevent clear visual view on a notoriously blind corner as you enter a major roundabout at a point of road narrowing where large vehicles already struggle to fit into a very narrow section of the A43 roundabout. Has been logged as ‘Done” BUT it has not at all!!!!

  • On the section adjacent to the A43 symbol shown on the map, the roundabout is rapidly being encroached upon by the vegetation now. Surely, an inspection of this is essential to safe driving conditions on the "A" road through our town. On the way to Kettering on the other side of this roundabout there is also extensive overgrowth causing drivers to NOT HAVE a clear view as they leave the roundabout!

  • I think that the council need to step in and demand this work is done, along with the review and continued monitoring of our main roads. This is part of the outer ring road A43 and it needs to be made safe!

  • Rang to National Highways who informed me that they are not responsible for the A43 section of highway here. Spoke with West Northamptonshire Council who sounded plausible that they "might" do something. I have no confidence that they will even bother. There are other areas of the A43 road and boundaries that require attention, but having tried for over two years I am not even slightly persuaded that anything will be done despite the clear dangers to traffic and drivers.

  • After multiple requests they the council eventually cut back the main area of issue. I suppose we now need to pursue the other areas of overgrowth.
