Overgrown bushes on Balland Way making it impossible to keep 2 metres away or walk with small children
Reported via desktop in the Obstruction (Not Vegetation) category anonymously at 12:27, Mon 19 October 2020
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 2347518.
These overgrown bushes make it impossible to walk side by side with young children socially distant, without walking on muddy grass or the actual road. It is also impossible to walk with our grandchildren safely particularly when using a buggy with a baby at the same time as walking with younger siblings. In 20 years living in adjoining Flinters Close I have never seen these bushes trimmed.

These bushes are cut back at least once a year so the comment about 20 years is completely disingenuous!
They are scheduled to be cut again on the 1st December.
