Danger to pedestrians
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later
Overgrown shrubbery at shoulder level is invading the public highway, making it difficult and dangerous for pedestrians to pass without stepping into vehicular lanes.
This is not a verge matter, as would typically be passed on to Parish councils. It is the public highway that is obstructed as opposed to the verge, and specifically the part of the highway that forms the pedestrian footway. My understanding is that it OCC ‘s sole responsibility.

Problem now much worse, owing to new seasonal growth. It is now pretty much impossible for pedestrians to pass without stepping into traffic lanes.
This one probably needs to be urgently prioritised owing to location outside school, with potential endangerment of children.

Problem continues to worsen.
