This raised foitpath is so over grown with vegetation , making it almost impossible to use. This raised path is above long a very narrow road access and is dangerous for pedestrians to use when vehicles are using it . The footpath was the safe option but no longer usable. This is made worse by the over hanging trees from private dwellings that back onto the path.
