Vegetation

All the vegetation on the road verges has grown faster than normal for the time of year. What with the warm spell in April, followed by a good watering this month, growth has been exceptional.

I hope all councils are on top of the situation and will keep at least the areas round all junctions cut well back so as to facilitate easy visibility. Traffic travels much faster these days, and appears to pay scant attention to warning signs of side roads. Seeing oncoming vehicles is extremely difficult when the vegetation has grown up too high... and numerous accidents, or near misses are caused by drivers not thinking 'beyond the end of their bonnets'.

Common sense seems to get into even shorter supply when the sun shines and people are out on a jaunt and in a hurry.
