Overgrown bushes impeding footpath
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7575696.
These bushes behind the garden of number 8 have grown approx. 3ft out into the public footpath - if there wasn't a widening at the corner behind the garages to join the other path, it would be impossible to navigate. We have residents with children and mobility issues, and it is getting more and more difficult to get past this vegetation without getting scratched. It's been an issue for a couple of years, and is steadily getting worse.
