Disabled footpath access

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 11:48, Sun 15 June 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council 1 month, 2 days, 2 hours, 39 minutes later. ref: 7711643.

Already report in the past 2 years the tree is overgrown and blocking dropped kerb access with my mobility scooter to my doctors Brookhealth centre Swinneyford Road by the Ambulance entrance Have reported to west Northampton council at least 2 months ago and nothing has been done - ref no 7129922 As a matter of urgency before the tree covers the whole path I would appreciate if this can be remove as it is on council owned land Also drop kerbs access points are not disability friendly eg the bridge entering the Water Meadow by the council offices are too high for mobility scooters and it would be useful if an employee was sent round to all drop kerbs access as they are not users friend
