The stingers and bushes at the rear of my garden are on a public footpath and overgrown. This issue was reported over 12 months ago and has not yet been attended to. I soon will not be able to exit my rear garden which poses a safery risk. My neighbours already cannot leave there rear garden as the overgrowth will not allow them to open their gate. The stingers are now also growing through and under my garden fence.
