Obscured vision on railbridge - Carole (3rd Jul 2022 - 19:57:03) Could the highways people trim the hedge and verge on the approach to the railway bridge on midhurst road. Coming out of station road the vision is limited, so much so you have to pull out blind. Also the width of the road going over the bridge is narrowed because of overgrown hedging

Re: Obscured vision on railbridge - Ian (3rd Jul 2022 - 20:24:12) Have you contacted Hampshire Highways or do you want someone else to do it for you?

Re: Obscured vision on railbridge - Anne (3rd Jul 2022 - 20:36:17) I don’t think the highway workers will see your request! Maybe best contact the council.

Re: Obscured vision on railbridge - Jo (3rd Jul 2022 - 20:46:14) Quicker to do it yourself. I see someone's made a start

Re: Obscured vision on railbridge - D (4th Jul 2022 - 07:01:11) Carole, I raised the issue of bad visibility at junctions before and my concerns were met with ridicule and sarcasm just as yours have been. You're wasting your time raising genuine concerns here.

Re: Obscured vision on railbridge - Ian (4th Jul 2022 - 07:37:26) The original poster had a number of options, post on talkback to people who cannot do anything about the overgrown hedging or send an email to the authorities who could do something! Sometimes (and in some cases D quite frequently) some people do invite criticism or are challenged over pointless, banal or inaccurate posts on talkback. If you can’t stand the heat……..

Re: Obscured vision on railbridge - Richard (4th Jul 2022 - 08:09:17) This link should allow you to report it initially. hants.gov.uk/transport/roadmaintenance/roadproblems/treehedge Once you have a reference number, if it takes an inordinate amount of time, contact our Local Hampshire Count Councillor (Mrs Curnow-Ford) to get her to escalate it.

Re: Obscured vision on railbridge - Gill (4th Jul 2022 - 09:58:12) I wonder if the parish coincil groundsman could do it as an emergency?

Re: Obscured vision on railbridge - D (4th Jul 2022 - 11:41:40) Ian, given how you successfully got the grass at the end of your road cut recently, you would be a good person to help Carole with this. I'm sure you would find that more rewarding than constantly nit picking other persons posts.

Re: Obscured vision on railbridge - Ian (4th Jul 2022 - 17:23:44) D I am a different Ian to the one who you say is constantly nit picking, this is the first and last time I reply to this post. I managed to get the grass cut in our road by simply phoning EHDC and being put through to the relevant department.

Re: Obscured vision on railbridge - Carole (4th Jul 2022 - 20:28:53) To the Ian who made a totally irrelevant comment’ if you can’t stand the heat’, what the h—- are you on about. I have emailed the council, so I am hoping it can be sorted before there is an accident Thank you every body with useful suggestions

Re: Obscured vision on railbridge - M (5th Jul 2022 - 09:40:21) @ Carole Your first post wasn’t asking the question to the correct person who could respond to your email Ian quite promptly asked if you had asked the highways. If you don’t want multiple comments on your issue then don’t post on here. There are ways of getting your problem quickly sorted as Ian did,you only had to contact highways or was it that you expected someone to do it for you ? I suspect the latter.
