Grass verge obstructing the public footpath

Reported via desktop in the Grass category anonymously at 16:04, Thursday 25 June 2026

The grass verge significantly reduces the usable width of the path and forces pedestrians to walk on the grass verge. In practice, the footpath is effectively unusable for many pedestrians, particularly those with mobility issues, carrying bags, pushing prams, or who are visually impaired.

I request that the site be inspected in person from a pedestrian's perspective, as the extent of the obstruction and its impact on safe passage are not fully evident without walking the route. The grass verge needs to be fixed to restore the full width and safe use of the public footpath.
