Dangerous overgrowth

Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 16:43, Mon 17 June 2024

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6118592.

The footpath as you can see from the photo from Deveron House into the village of Milton Malsor is nearly completely overgrown with vegetation including stinging nettles and thistles. There isn't even enough room for the dog to walk on the path and I have to walk out on the road in parts, I nearly got wiped out at the weekend as someone came around the corner as its a 60 mph limit at that point. The footpath in general is narrow at the best of times due to the verge encroaching it. It could do with a machine to scrape that dirt off to open the footpath back up to as far down as the Greyhound Pub.
