Grass/weeds severely impairing visibility in both directions
Reported via mobile in the Blocking visibility on road/junction (Grass/verge) category anonymously at 22:15, Monday 20 July 2026 using FixMyStreet Pro
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9818896.
The junction from Sandywell lane onto the A40 is dangerous. The verge is so overgrown you have less than 10m visibility both directions. This is a dangerous junction with good visibility due to the speed cars travel on the A40 but it is currently lethal. I encountered a very near miss a few days ago
