Annual complaint of overgrown bridlepath which has been designated investigating

Reported via desktop in the Passage-Obstructed/Overgrown category anonymously at 15:08, Thu 6 June 2024

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6062400.

Headland bridleway on ER5 leading onto Mantles Heath/Preston Capes road getting overgrown again with only a very narrow track made by walkers through the long grass/thistles. Farmer only cut once 2 yrs ago, reported last year again and status was "investigating". Now hedge brash dumped alongside path especially near bridlegate access to Preston Capes road. May we please have a cut this year as it will get out of hand quickly? Thank you
