Vehicles speed along this road, the overhanging vegetation means that high sided vehicles are in the middle of the road which is dangerous. Drivers are not able to see the 20mph sign as there are 2 signs immediately in front. The 2 signs are inappropriately sited as both the Recreation Car Park and the Children's playground are further down the road and both signs are rusting and dekipadated. Also 2 signs are not needed as one saying Recreation Ground and Childrens's Playground would be enough. There was a recent casualty of a much loved family cat in this spot but lots of children cross the road here to access the recreation ground and playground. My main concern however is that drivers are unaware of the speed limit because the sign is obscured. Lots of farm vehicles and high sided vehicles use the road and often take overhanging branches with them.
