Blocked pathway access

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown trees/ hedges category anonymously at 08:36, Sun 18 May 2025

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14177109.

Hedges are blocking path access, also hedges continually grow through weak wire mesh fences blocking access. Can this not be replaced by proper fencing to mitigate this continual issue? This has been a continual issue for residents for some years now.

  • I think this could be solved in several ways:

    1. Maintain the hedges that are not on any of our land and give access to the path. Potentially replacing the mesh fence which allows the hedges to grow through further, as originally reported.

    2. Open up access and allow for more parking directly behind this row of houses since their is a lack of it, this in turn gives the homesowners and tenants the ability to introduce more effective home charging and convert to EV's.

    Not only that buy putting parking out the back of these houses you could open access to the road, introduce sleepers on either side of this entrance. This then reduces the constant speeding down the top of harlescott lane to Ellesmere road.
