Hedge collapsed across pavement in addition to pavement weeds making path unusable in places

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7777109.
Part of a hedge appears to have blown down completely blocking the pavement. However pavement weeds (your responsibility, OCC) are making the pavement unusable (without getting stung) in many places along a 300yd stretch. This has been reported annually for at least a decade now. Last year, for the first time in ages, you actually came along and did a good job proactively clearing it. This year we seem to be back to normal. This road carries 6-7000 vehicles per day. We have to walk in the road in places. Wheelchairs/pushchairs would have to be in the road for most of the length.

The collapsed hedge has now been cleared. However the path itself remains so overgrown with pavement weeds in places that it is impossible for anyone with a pram/stroller or wheelchair to use, unless the occupant is happy to be stung by nettles. The only alternative is walking down a busy/unlit road.
