Bushes making use of footpath difficult

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown Private Vegetation category anonymously at 11:26, Thu 15 May 2025

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7573354.

The hedges at 47, 48, & 49 Crestwood Gardens are intruding over the footpath on Crestwood Road leaving only approximately 50% of the footpath for pedestrians to actually use. They need cutting back so the rest of the footpath can be used.
