Overgrown hedge over footpath
Reported via mobile in the Overgrown Private Vegetation category anonymously at 23:31, Wed 18 September 2024
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6488247.
I try and walk regularly and have noticed the hedge on the corner of 23 Hans Apel Drive, Brackley is taking some of the width of the path. Continuing on from there, further up there are weeds across the footpath. It's the same as you come into Stratton Drive, Brackley. I end up walking in the road so I don't get caught up. I have walking poles or crutches to help me walk. This has been like this for months.
