There is significant growth of vegetation again on top of the north and south pillars of Victoria bridge which weakens the grouting between the the blocks which is both a safety issue and damages the historic bridge itself as only the vegetation is remove when I ask it to be removed rather that removing the actual roots, so it comes back each year
