Overgrowing Hedges Blocking Footpath

Reported via desktop in the Hedges category anonymously at 09:31, Sunday 26 May 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later

All along the footpath from Benson to Ewelme are overgrown hedges that force pople off the paved footpath. The whole length needs to be cut back but particularly bad from Fifield Manor to the Watercress Beds at Ewelme. When wet you are forced onto the road. Impassable for people with wheelchairs, prams etc. Same every year and nothing gets done.

  • This is also dangerous riding a bike past on the road, my children ride to and from school and are either pushed out to the centre of road or get stung by nettles. Are you waiting for an accident? This is negligence!

    Nothing has been done so it's now worse. The entire length of the footpath from Braze Lane to Green Lane needs attention - hedges cut back, verges properly cut back so long grass does not obstruct the surfaced path.
