Overgrown shrubs
Reported via desktop in the Overgrown Private Vegetation category anonymously at 07:26, Saturday 7 June 2025
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7673636.
These shrubs are overhanging most of the path making it difficult to walk along. People with children, prams, dogs or those in wheelchairs have to come off the path and into the road to get round the bollard, this is dangerous when cars are coming along the road.
