Investigating
Cycle/Pedestrian path 30% overgrown
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
No problem with encouraging wild vegetation growth, but it shouldn't be allowed to obstruct cycleways, especially where these are shared with pedestrians. Along this stretch, vegetation (including many stinging nettles) has been allowed to encroach across the path, reducing its 4m width to less than 2m in several places. This is well below the requirement, and last Sunday was creating inconvenience and danger because it was busy with walkers and cyclists.

I've just realised that this report hasn't been accepted because the location wasn't clear enough. I had placed the marker in exactly the right place on the map. But the stretch of Thames cycleway that was badly overgrown is the stretch between Oxford's southern ring road bridge across the Thames and the Cowley Branch Line railway bridge. This whole strech needs cutting back at least to the tarmac edges
