The footpath barriers (Bickerstaffes Road end) and concrete bollard (Plank Houses end) (see images attached) between number 9 Bickerstaffes Road and number 11 Bickerstaffes Road were demolished by a car in the summer of 2019 and have not been repaired or replaced. The overgrown hedging (belonging to my property) had been a deterrent to vehicles accessing the footpath but the hedging has now been cut back (remainder to be removed once nesting birds have fledged) and this deterrent no longer exists. The footpath provides regular access for young children and parents to access the Towcester C of E Primary School and the Recreation Field and senior citizens to access Plank Houses. With no barriers, cars will see this as a vehicle access and the possibility for accidents is significantly increased.
