Lower Mounts at the junction of Bailiff Street
Reported via desktop in the Obstruction (Not Vegetation) category anonymously at 18:11, Fri 2 August 2024
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6309367.
The vegetation in that area is too low and overgrown! There is no room to walk safely on the pavement. I am less than 6' tall and have to duck and walk partially in the road to pass that section of the pavement. There is only room for 1 person to walk precariously along that section.
Please get someone to cut those bushes! Plus the blackberries stain and damage shoes and clothing. Not very nice for us pedestrians.
