Footpath neither signed at either end, nor clear of obstructions
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7546551.
Please clear this path. The following is from the Silverstone village Facebook group today, and several have already chimed in to agree that West End is dangerous: "I just had to walk up to collect my car from West End garage and a car shot past me. I could see it was fast so waved my hand for the driver to slow down but just got a loud angry sounding of the horn. Even if it was going at 30 it was too fast. A very narrow road with a pedestrian is dangerous but there are always unskilled selfish drivers about. With the vast amount of traffic at rush hours in particular down our road for the foreseeable future its an accident waiting to happen" I have complained about the council's neglect of this path several times in the past few years, and have always been given the brush off. "Not a priority". Clearing and waymarking it is not a total solution to pedestrian safety along West End, but would be a valuable contribution and need not cost WNC much if you oblige the landowners to meet their legal requirements.

This is RX12 on the Definitive Map. You previous response to my report was wrong
-
Investigation: Completed (No Action Necessary) - We have inspected and the section that is completely obstructed is in the green wooded area. However you still end up on the same road that users would need to walk anyway. The path also does not join any other routes and is essentially a non through route. Whilst we have noted this issue for future action it is not a high priority at this time as we would prioritise through routes which link up with other routes. There will be no further action taken on this matter for the forseeable future.
