Footpath extremely narrow

Reported via iOS in the Obstruction (Not Vegetation) category anonymously at 19:58, Monday 20 April 2026

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 9326204.

This portion of the footpath has narrowed considerably from nature reclaiming it. Everyday I see people pushing buggies very close to the edge of the path and school kids having to push their bikes in the road to get around. This road is full of HGVs and meeting a car the other side the HGV mirrors end up over the walking area of this path. Please do something about it before an accident occurs. I understand a walk around has been made through the new estate so please block this portion of path off to force people onto the safe area created or clear the area to be wider
