Hedge blocking pavement

Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 09:44, Wed 1 May 2024

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 5919380.

We have a parish hall in our road and the hedge around it has overgrown and is now blocking the pavement. it is used on a Monday by a mother and toddler group and I feel the users who have young children are in danger as they have to walk in the road. Also there is another restricted pavement nearby where the pavement access completely inaccessible.
