Tree/shrub overgrowing footway

Reported via desktop anonymously at 07:54, Wed 24 April 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council 38 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 5891729.

No.6, reported many time and diligently ignored by somebody....dereliction of responsibility/duty by somebody... The tree/shrubs now catch my face as i try to pass. Cut the overhanging, obstructive foliage back (vertical to the back of the footway) and put a charge on the property it is simple, it really is - Highways Act 1980!

Council ref: ENQ241002123
