Front garden hedges and vegetation significantly overgrowing the east side of the Stuart Road footway.
Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 15:38, Tue 10 November 2020
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 2380875.
This problem occurs on the frontages to a number of properties on the east side of Stuart Road numbers 3 - 37. The neatly trimmed vegetation has grown over a number of years to obstruct almost half the width of the footway in places, and forces pedestrians into the road in some locations. Sample photo's attached. The problem is clearly in intervention of sec 154 of the Highways Act 1980.

This overgrown hedge is still an issue, needs a good 4ft trim back to the edge of the path. Single file just about achievable.
Not really acceptable. Please facilitate a fix. Thanks so much.

The large tree outside 3 Stuart road will be removed in Autumn 2022 as there are birds nesting it cannot be done sooner. The hedge along Stuart road that is outside the boundary of the owner of same address is responsibility of the highways and has been reported.

Thank you for your further comments. This is an enforcement issue as the vegetation is not part of the adopted Highway. The job is with our vegetation contractor and will be done this month.
