Overgrown Hedges are making this footpath almost impassable.

To get to the shop in Ferring with my Grandchildren I have to cross Goring Way before Sea Lane. Cross again across Sea Lane and the cross Goring Way again to access the shops. It is IMPOSSIBLE to pass the overgrown hedges with the children; as they would have to walk single file. You cannot take a pushchair or wheelchair past the hedges. They are overgrown by at least 2 feet

  • There has been no progress in cutting back the overhanging hedges. It’s still dangerous to pedestrians.

    I reported this in November 2024. NOTHING has been done to resolve this.

    I have been told some have been cut back. But they haven’t. Compare the original photos to these taken last week. See the hedge against this person. You can see the path is not fit for purpose

  • Some of the hedges were trimmed back a little but the pavement has not been touched. We want our footpath back x
