Hedges overgrown into path

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown Private Vegetation category anonymously at 18:48, Wednesday 11 March 2026

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 9089794.

The hedges on the corner which border this property boundary are overgrown, as a result the path is half its width and it’s becoming quite tight for wheelchairs and pushchairs to pass by.

  • Still overgrown. The homes either side are allowing their neglected vegetation to obstruct and become an eye sore. The whole bottom of the street looks disgusting, children are physically unable to play outside and alleyway is not easily accessible due to cars, scrap and vegetation.
