Overhanging trees and shrubs making the cycle path too narrow and unsafe

Reported via desktop in the Vegetation & maintenance category anonymously at 08:43, Wednesday 26 June 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

The stretch of the cycle path between the end of Horspath Road and the end of Oliver Road is so overgrown with overhanging trees that it is becoming difficult to cycle through safely. The trees have made the path very narrow and they also hit cyclists on the head as they hang down so low. In addition, in the winter when all the leaves drop this section becomes very slippery from all the leaf mulch from the trees. Could the trees and other overhanging shrubs please be cut back and the path widened back to it's original width, as was done recently on the stretch of cycle path further along towards the Horspath driftway. Thanks

  • I've attached a selection of photos of the area from Horspath Road to Oliver Road. I have others but I could only upload 3. There are multiple overhanging trees/shrubs along the stretch of road but these were the worse.
