Pathway between 8&9 Brittons Drive extremely overgrown

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 13:00, Wed 19 June 2024

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6127023.

The pathway between Brittons Drive and Southfields is very overgrown and dense. Between numbers 8&9 it is difficult to walk through and at night very dark as streetlight obscured by overgrowth. The tree at the back of number 8 is so large and overgrown that it is covering 8 metres of the 10 metre garden and is pushing down the fence. Both the pathway and the tree need tending to as soon as possible as they are both becoming dangerous to the public.
