Reported via desktop in the Crops are blocking/growing on route category anonymously at 17:50, Mon 17 June 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6118903.
The footpath between Emerson Lane and the entrance to Tarlton Wood (running past Cranhill Barn on the verge alongside the fields of rapeseed and wheat) is not maintained and is overgrown with wild grasses that make sections inaccessible. Parts of the path are visible after tractor wheels have flattened the grass but the section from the middle of the path down towards the copse about 300m SE of Cranhill Barn are completely inaccessible. The grass needs to be cut to allow use of the footpath.
