Less than half footpath remaining
Reported via iOS in the Overgrown Private Vegetation category anonymously at 14:40, Tuesday 7 October 2025
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8264377.
This footpath is in Riverstone Way at the junction of Banbury Lane. Barely enough room for one person to walk on. Parents with children going to school walk in road. On Fridays this footpath is blocked by wheelie bins so everyone has to walk in the road.
