The vegetation is now obstructing the entrance to the pathway. I nearly hit a child on a bike as I could not see them , until nearly upon them. Cars drive so fast down the close that this is an accident waiting to happen.This is also a risk to animals in the area. Please cut the bushes back ASAP Many thanks
