Overgrown hedges encroaching footway
Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 08:31, Mon 15 December 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8547436.
I reported this issue in June 2025, your ref 7687921, and received an update in October advising that the vegetation had been cut back. I do not believe this to be true, as can be seen by the attached photos: Photo 1 taken on 6th June and Photo 2 taken on 10th December. It does not appear to me that any attempt has been made to cut back the vegetation. The footway is still overgrown.
