  • The hedge is still there and people with prams and mobility scooter have to go around rather than using the footpath.

  • The hedge in Bernwood Rd. in Bicester which should belong to the corner property in Withington Rd. Needs cutting back badly as it takes up most of the footpath and a pram/pushchair/ mobility scooter cannot use the footpath. Can we get this done within the next six weeks before the bird nesting season starts.

  • The drain in Berwood rd in Bicester is not taking rainwater away when it falls and takes a long time to soak away. This drain was last cleaned on 18/10/2018

  • Hedge still Ned’s cutting at junction of Bernewood rd and Withongton rd

  • The hedge on the corner of Withington Road, Bicester and Bernwood Road, Bicester needs cutting I consider it belongs to the new house next to number 5. I measured the footpath tonight and it was approximately 152 cm wide but there is only 46 cm of footpath to walk on the rest is taken over by the hedge. That means the hedge occupies 106cm of footpath. Please note I am not the only one complaining I waited for a dog walker to pass and they said something needs doing very soon. Can we get this fixed by the end of this Month?

  • Thank you for your report. Based on our assessment, the highlighted area does not currently meet the criteria for immediate intervention under our Highway Safety Inspection Policy as this seems to have now been cut back away from the footway. However, rest assured that we will continue to monitor this location during our routine statutory inspections.
