Overgrown pedestrian footpath and accessible ramp

Reported via mobile anonymously at 22:38, Tue 10 September 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Cherwell District Council and Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6459466.

Unfortunately this part has been left overgrown about 6 years. Branches, long grass and wild blackcurrant branches overhang onto the accessibility ramp. Unfortunately effects the user with a mobility scooter, baby pushchairs, prams and pedestrians also bike users. On the picture I'm standing in the grass to show the height of it. I have tried to contact the Banbury Town Council many times, but unfortunately the issue not been resolved, just gone around in circles. Beginning of the year some of the council workers kindly trimmed back the branches because they seen how badly been overgrown, but they said this part is not on their list so they won't be able to do any more then that.
