This footpath is now really dangerous for pedestrians. It is filled with tree branches and vegetation. There is also an 8ft pole which was in the road but has been bent and put on the footpath. At parts the path is impassable and the road has to be entered. There is no alternative footpath on the opposite side of the road.
