Corner tree & bush covering the road sign & Path

Reported via desktop in the Overgrown Private Vegetation category anonymously at 16:18, Thursday 6 February 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7097286.

The tree on the corner is overhanging where you have to duck to go under. This is also making the path dangerous due to the leaves and moss growing so slippery. The bush is completely hiding the roadsign, and is so overgrown its covering half the path. Doesnt help when vehicles park here as you HAVE to walk in the road as cannot get past.

Has been reported before months ago, but now seriously worse as children use this going to & from school / nursery

  • This has still not been fixed. The tree overhangs so much now you HAVE to duck and walk into the road as cant walk under it. Add in the overgrown bush at the side taking up over half the path, and the speed cars come round the corner, you are taking your life into your hands. All that was done after being reported MONTHS ago was a few twigs cut from the sign about 4 months ago!!!
