Vegetation obscuring lighting
Reported via desktop in the Overgrown Private Vegetation category anonymously at 11:40, Wednesday 1 October 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8237736.
As can be seen from the photo, the hedgerow has totally obscured the lighting meaning that the area is very dark when approaching Mill Lane from Holland Rise in the evening. I previously reported this under case 8209023 which was closed because it was not deemed to be overgrown enough but I don't think consideration was given to the impact on those approaching from Holland Rise rather Mill Lane. Please can you arrange for it to be cut.
