Overhanging brambles.

On the corner of Kynaston Road and Hagbourne Road, opposite Caversham Park, there are brambles hanging over onto the pavement which prevent pedestrians from using it. This happens every summer/autumn and is a nuisance and forcing people to walk onto the grass verges/ cross onto the other path. The brambles seem to be growing on "no man's land" on the corner, and not the responsibility of the people who live in the house next door. The blackberries make a mess all over the path too.Please could you sort out a permanent solution to this problem. Thank you so much.
