The trees, plants and bramble have overgrown with some now fully spanning the width of the path. These branches are covered in thorns and people are having to touch them to move them out of the way to walk past. Today I sadly saw someone in a wheelchair have to wheel straight through the thorns just to get past. This is a popular path for school kids to get to school so a lot of people walk through it every day. With it being summer now the plants are growing very quickly and it has already been like this for over a month.

The exact location is 51.45976° N, 2.51658° W
