Falling hedge blocking the pathway

Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 17:54, Sun 6 July 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council 1 week, 4 days, 17 hours, 9 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 7817190.

The hedge is falling and blocking the pathway, this may also make people use the open space to get through the park and my neighbours and I may end up with problems people crossing over to our side. This has been almost two weeks now but I didn’t know where and how to report it.
