Very Dangerous path due to overgrown vegetation.

Reported via desktop in the Footways and Pavement damage category anonymously at 16:47, Thu 17 October 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later

The foot path from the Pearsons Mead's bus stop (Abingdon north) north bound towards the traffic light crossing (about 200m, north bound) has lots of overgrown vegetation it is dangerous to access. Because of the vegetation pedestrians need to walk very close to Dunmore road (very busy). Several school bus use this stops forcing children to use this dangerous path. The path itself is actually in a very good condition it is just a matter of having the vegetation been cut back /urgently.
