The picturea don't show it well but these hedges overhang half the footpath mean when you pass people somebody has to go onto the road. It would be impossible for 2 wheelchair users to pass on this footpath, similarly pushchair users.

  • Still an issue, and even more so with the nights drawing in. If people step onto the road and get hit by a car I would say the council will be responsible considering the insufficient time to react to the report

  • How the ..... Do you figure this one out. Have to tried to walk down this road and pass a person in a wheelchair without stepping on the busy road? I have, and you can't. The hedge over hangs the path by around 1/3 of the path, maybe 50/50. Why are you allowing people's personal property make the public's life more at risk than they need to be? Just get the hedge cut before somebody gets hurt.
