TIME FOR ACTION

Concern continues to be voiced about untidy vegetation which is a road safety hazard on Cadney Road, Brigg.
The town council has still to receive a reply to its letter of complaint sent several weeks ago to North Lincolnshire Council, the highway authority.
And the concerned motorist who first raised the issue with Brigg councillors is still adamant someone needs to take action - before there's an accident.
She told Brigg Blog: "This is a difficult bit of road because it's on a bend and narrows down to single file over the bridge. With good visibility, drivers can pull in in plenty of time to avoid an accident, but at the moment the view is completely obscured from both directions.
"The shrubs used to be cut back every year, but this has not been done for at least three years now. There are constant near misses, and it's only a matter of time before there's a serious accident. It seems ridiculous to endanger lives just for the sake of a couple of hours' work."
We understand the council sent workmen to cut back the growth at the base of nearby lime trees only a few weeks ago.
Couldn't they have spent the time dealing with this problem which has been reported several times by different people?
