Hedge restricting pavement outside Fire Station
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later
Please could the hedge outside Bampton Fire Station be cut back a little. The hedge is at the front of the station on New Road to the side of the large entrance/exit for the appliance.Narrow footpath/pavement outside Bampton Fire Station, New Road OX18 2LF now been made narrower by hedge growth. Necessary to step into the road at times which is proving dangerous. Difficult for people using Mobility scooters. No footpath/pavement at the opposite side of the road so no option to cross over the road to use another pavement.

Thank you for your report. Landowners and occupiers are legally obligated to properly maintain vegetation on their property that is next to the public highway. If the vegetation affects the safety of highway users, it becomes their responsibility. However, in this instance, since the highway was not obstructed, there may not be sufficient cause to take further action at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation during statutory inspections.
