My mother lives in this close and walks with a wheeled walker, she is finding it increasingly difficult to walk round the close on her daily walk because of the weeds and overgrown verges and bushes. As she walks into the main estate the tarmac footpath is almost covered over with weeds etc making it very dangerous for people with mobility issues.Many thanks.

Thank you for your report. I have visited the site you pinpointed on the map, by 12 Songers Close, see photos, and assessed the issue that you have identified. I have requested a 28 day notice be sent to the owners of 14 Songers Close, to cut back their vegetation overgrowing Songers Close footpath. The rest of the overgrown vegetation that you have described, unfortunately, doesn't meet our current immediate intervention criteria, so I cannot arrange a quick repair. It has been placed/logged on the list of Minor Civils/HATER jobs to be assessed for inclusion in future programmed works, subject to there being no conflicting works and sufficient funds. We will continue to monitor this site during our routine inspections.

Thank you for your reporting this issue, here is another update. When I re-visited this site I noted that the owners of 13 also had vegetation overgrowing and obstructing this section of footway. I requested a 28 day notice be sent to these owners, to cut back their vegetation, which they have since done, see latest photo.
