Trees blocking the cycle path

The pavement cycle path is half blocked by trees, forcing cyclists close to the edge of the path and so close to fast-moving traffic. I first reported this fault in May, and again about three weeks ago. Some of the grass has been trimmed and a few of the worst overhanging branches have been removed, but the main bulk of the trees blocking the path remain.

Updates
A lot of work has been done on the worst section, but the trees still block the path in a couple of places.
Nothing has been done since my last post. In two places trees narrow the path, pushing cyclists to the egde of the path and so within inches of traffic on a 60 mph road.
The two sections near the traffic lights have not been addressed.
There are still sections that need cutting back.
Nothing has changed, there is still a section where bushes half block the path.
Nothing has changed, the trees opposite the eastern end of the Daily Mail warehouse still block half of the path.
There are still sections where the trees partially obscure the path but it's obvious that the council aren't going to do anything as they were told about it more than 6 months ago. I'll just have to report it again when the spring growth starts to make the path even more dangerous.
