Path barely wide enough to walk along

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown Private Vegetation category anonymously at 19:19, Sun 3 August 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7973062.

The hedge is overgrown on to the path, and now the path is hardly useable. It has been like this for many months, if not longer. It is quick growing so even when trimmed back slightly, it doesn’t take long before it is overgrown again.
