  • The width of the pyracantha bush has been done which is fantastic today 3/10/25 and it makes the pathway so much safer. However the height has not been touched which will result in over hang with the wetter weather, which happens often and the hangs into eye level when walking down. Disappointing with the level of litter, which can be passers by or from windy blue bin collection days.
