Overgrown trees, branches, and general vegetation

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 18:50, Tue 22 April 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7466936.

The footpath from the Bradlaugh Fields footpath all the way round the corner towards the nursery, has dangerous branches, bushes, twigs and vegetation taking over the footpath. It's extremely dangerous on the corner as it's impossible to see what's coming. I can no longer walk with my child by my side, they have scratched their face. It is also a serious obstacle for a disabled person using a mobility vehicle

  • The pathway is STILL blocked, we have great difficulty getting between the crash barrier and the bushes/weeds!
