Pavement overgrown with vegetation

Reported via desktop by Hilda Deane at 08:43, Fri 21 June 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council and Vale of White Horse District Council 1 minute later

The footpath on Spring Hill is used regularly and pedestrians have to walk in the road as the footpath is too overgrown to use. It is impossible for anyone with a pushchair or walking a dog to get off the road quickly into the nettles and brambles if traffic is coming from both directions at the same time. This path has become narrower and narrower over the years due to lack of regular maintenance and even when the vegetation was cut back last year the stretch between The Lodge and the bottom of the hill is still quite difficult to walk down without feeling very close to passing traffic.
