    Brambles overgrowing the path. I see that it has been previously reported in July but the brambles are growing half way over the path.

    This problem was first reported in July. See above for updates. Nothing has been done. the other corner of Elm Grove is also overgrown and the footpath width is reduced proving a problem for pedestrians, particularly parents and children walking to and from Preston Hedges School
