Low branches need cutting

Along this stretch of shared use cycle path, between Ditton Lane and the pedestrian entrance to Jack Warren Green, the tree branches growing over from the cemetery are getting very low indeed. The attached photo was taken at head height when standing, and cyclists' heads will often be higher up than that. There are other similar examples along the stretch. I have accidentally hit my head several times against the branches, but fortunately haven't been injured because I was wearing both a helmet and glasses. Someone not wearing helmet and glasses may get a face full of branches. It's particularly bad in the dark needless to say - bike lights point at the ground, not up at head height, so you can't see them coming.

Hopefully they can be cut back enough to last until at least next summer!

Thanks in advance.

Last I saw a few days ago, it has still not been fixed - if anything it is worse as the branches have grown more.
