Hedge overgrowing footpath

Reported via mobile in the Hedges category anonymously at 21:04, Thu 26 June 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

The hedge outside st Nicholas school has been allowed to grow over the footpath. In places it covers half of the footpath which reduces the width for pedestrians considerably. This cause major pedestrian congestion which makes people use the cycle path bit. This is not only inconvenient to pedestrians but at the start and end of school is a safety problem. It is an accident waiting to happen
