Dangerous overgrown shrubs and bushes
Reported via mobile in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 21:54, Wed 25 August 2021
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 2959233.
Once again I have to report this problem with the pathway between Paddocks Road and Crown Way. The space between the overgrown vegetation is barely enough for 1 person to walk through let alone a joint footpath/cycle way. This doesn’t show Rushden in a good light to people using the Greenway. Please, please get it cut back before someone’s eye gets damaged with brambles at head height. Also, please plan to get it trimmed BEFORE it becomes a problem.

What is happening - NOTHING - it appears!!! You have cut part of a tree at the Crown Way end of this path (and what a mess this looks), but still no action on the original complaint about the pathway being narrowed by overgrown vegetation. This pathway is designated as joint cycle/footpath between PADDOCKS ROAD and THE OLD RAILWAY BRIDGE but is becoming dangerous for both types of users. If no action is taken after this updated report, I shall try a different way to get it fixed by involving local media.
