Investigating
Overgrown / Overhanging Vegetation Over Footpath
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6453668.
Overgrown / overhanging vegetation over footpath is severly impeding headroom over the path and causing risk of head injury. I have personally injured myself with a deep scratch taking skin off my head by not ducking down quite far enough.
