The vegetation needs to be cut back and the path scraped to reinstate its full width along the line of the red marking . This is a combined use path and is very busy. It is now very difficult for mobility scooters to get through. It is also on a blind bend and I have witnessed several near misses , between cycles and pedestrians as they cannot see past the vegetation.
