Ever expanding hedge obstructing the pavement
Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8539647.
Hedge now takes up nearly half of the pavement at the corner of Radnor and Maple Road. While appearing neatly trimmed it actually takes up so much room you can only walk single file, and most buggies have to go into the road, a significant issue given it is a key route to Horfield Common and Bishop Road school. This has been a growing problem for the last few years. The grit box position shows how far the hedge has encroached onto the pavement.
Updates
-
A new enquiry has been raised for this issue.
-
This issue is currently under investigation. We'll provide updates on the outcome as soon as we can.
-
This hedge has gotten worse and the pavement is almost impassable if a van or car is parked by it. The owners have ignored repeated enforcement orders. Other nearby properties have learned there are no consequences to doing this and are letting their hedges get into similar states.
-
This issue is currently under investigation. We'll provide updates on the outcome as soon as we can.
-
The pavement is impassable by those in wheelchairs or with a buggy.
BCC - please do not tell the community that this is under investigation. This has been reported year after year.
It would appear that an FOI request, contact with councillors and canvassing via local press will resolve this for the community, particulary for those families using the route to access Horfield Park.
Please can you provide a substantive update that is more than 'this is under investigation'?
-
The pavement is now becoming impassable at this location.
Please provide an update on when the pavement will be reinstated for the community.
-
We have sent an enforcement letter to request that the land owner takes action on the issue raised.
If the matter remains unresolved 28 days from the date of this update, please let us know via a new enquiry on Fix My Street so that we can consider whether further action is required.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
