## Resource

Leicestershire County Council is pouring £50,000 into highways to hire two new staff members focused on tackling overgrown grass and hedges along roads—aiming to slash safety hazards like obstructed views and flying branches. With teams already covering hundreds of football pitches since April, the extra hands will boost response speed and keep visibility clear for drivers and cyclists. Residents are urged to report issues, as this proactive push is part of a broader effort to upgrade local infrastructure and protect everyone on the road.
