The trees and bushes on this corner of Blackness Lane are causing a dangerous situation where anyone turning out of Blackness Lane cannot see oncoming traffic.

I have attached a photo from Google Maps from 7 years ago(they have not been cut back in the 5 years I've been in the lane) and the current situation. I've seen several near accidents where cars have to avoid cars coming out Blackness lane.
