Overgrown hedges

Reported via mobile in the Obstruction category anonymously at 13:18, Tuesday 18 June 2024

Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6122565.

The footpath has become in accessible given the bushes hanging over it on Knole Lane. I understand the council isn't the owner of the hedges nonetheless the Council has an obligation under The Highways Act to ensure the footpath us clear. Please ensure this is addressed as soon as possible - for those of us with low vision it's a major problem
