    The pathway is almost impassable. The plant growth beside the wall coupled with the grass encroachment means the pathway is not functioning as a path. Please can you fix?

  • This path is now virtually impassable from the Faringdon sign down to the Sewage works. Please remove vegetation growing out of the wall & cut one strip on the road side right down to the sewage works. This is a FOOTPATH & no longer useable as such! Thank you

  • I cannot use the footpath. Today the rain has caused the weeds to become soaking wet, this makes my jeans sopping. My wife could not use the pathway last week as she was wearing a summer dress, the weeds and brambles cut her legs. Please cut back the weeds and redefine the path edge? The path has become so narrow as the grass cuttings have overtaken the path edge.

  • Please, when is the above problem No. 2410005838 going to be dealt with? It is a public footpath, which can no longer be used as such!

  • This was first reported in May. We have gone all through June with the problem not fixed, it’s now mid July. What are you waiting for, winter? There is little point in our reporting and this web sites existence if you don’t fix.

  • This Footpath continues to be very overgrown & a trip hazard. It was first reported back in May & still nothing has bee done. The section from the two cottages through to the Sewage works is particularly bad. PLEASE can it be cleared of all vegetation before Autumn leaves start falling.

  • I walked this stretch on Friday 27th September getting scratched by brambles and stung by nettles, and soaked by wet grass. If the vegetation is not removed, new growth in the Spring will make the footpath impassable. Can't some early release criminals be set to work on this?
