Overhanging branches, bramble and Pyracantha

Reported via desktop in the Hedges category anonymously at 18:57, Thursday 18 June 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

The bramble and pyrantha are overhanging the walking space of the pathway. This makes it difficult to walk through in the daytime and especially in the evenings. It's also hazardous to young children. It's an important access point to the car parking area and garages for those living nearby. Over time, the pathway becomes difficult to navigate. During the summer months, the gap narrows. Due to the overgrowth, the area is also used as a tipping area. A trim right back of the overgrowth would be very appreciated.

  • The issue is not resolved unfortunately. Bramble has continued to grow and narrowing the pathway access to the parking area. Brambles have been trimmed. Also being trimmed and left covering the pavement by one of the residents. This is hazardous for young children. The hedging and overhanging branches need to be trimmed back by a metre.
