Action scheduled
A404, direction High Wycombe to Hazlemere Crossroads, passed Magnolia Dene, opposite Willow Chase
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8020023.
Overgrown hedge. The hedges are coming so far over the pavement and they are prickly. It is difficult to walk past and not be bothered by overhanging, prickly branches. So much of the pavement is unusable. This is a very busy road and you are forced to walk on the edge of the pavement which puts you very close to the traffic. This situation has been progressively worse on this stretch of road for a long time and I have, in fact, reported it before but I heard nothing and nothing has been done. At one point my grandson was in his pushchair and was scratched by an overhanging bramble.
