Growing trees will soon make footpath less safe

There is a footpath going from Harberd Tye up to Goodwin Close. I frequently have to use it at night to get to Church events in Lucas Avenue. So far I've been very happy that despite poor lighting, the grassy banks have made it easy to see if there is anyone lurking, and so I feel safe to use this path even at night. I see this week that someone (I assume the Council) has done a lot of planting on this bank, including all around the footpath. I don't know what these are but they appear to be bushes or trees. When they grow they will make the footpath much much more dangerous as people walking that way will not be able to see if anyone is lurking. The bushes will provide hiding places for potential attackers.I rely on this footpath at night to get to my Church and I only use it because I can see clearly that I am alone. I don't know how I will manage when it becomes less safe. I realise that these have only just been planted but please move some of them so that the footpath remains clear and safe.
