Hedge making path too narrow!

Reported via desktop in the Hedges category anonymously at 15:58, Fri 9 May 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

The hedge has been encroting on the path for years and now it is strictly single file.

School time is particularly dangerous for a busy road and lots of children. It also makes it very difficult to see round to cross the road. The hedge needs to be cut right back.

Council ref: ENQ251047247

    It's dangerous at school time with a busy main road and a lot of children on bikes/scooters. It's not wide enough if someone was to fall of they would fall in the road
