Reporting a problem with shrubs on the Ameysford Roundabout adjacent to Forest Links Road. On the north side of the roundabout there are a number of shrubs growing very close to the edge of the roundabout. Over the past few years and during the summer months they grow and obstruct the exit view of the road. My reason for pointing this out is that it's not a problem if you are driving in car or lorry. However if you are riding a motorbike in lane two and slightly banked over for the curve, the shrubs when in leaf are at visor height and can completely obstruct forward vision. In the past they have been cut back, but to be safe they need to be removed. The screen shot shows a view from a motorbike, when I came past there the other day one of the larger shrubs was just coming out in leaf.
