Blocked footpath

Reported via desktop in the Other category by Heather Armitage at 10:14, Tue 29 July 2025

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council and South Oxfordshire District Council less than a minute later

I clicked on the Public rights of Way option but the Continue button did not work. Here the Footpath sign is completely obscured by a blackthorn hedge which hangs so low you have to bend double to pass beneath it. There are 2 concrete blocks preventing vehicle access. If you find them you know you are in the right place. It is at a bend in the road. Please clear it and reveal the footpath sign. The hedge is on the verge so I assume it is the council's responsibility.
