Hitchin Road, Shefford - hedge in front of houses numbered 15 - 39
Reported via desktop in the Pavement and Cycle path category by FRANCESCA FITCH at 06:32, Wed 14 August 2024
Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 410303.
The hedge and shrubs that border the footpath are overhanging so much in places that the path is impassable if you are pushing a buggy or in a wheelchair. We believe the shrubs/hedging is the responsibility of the residents in nos 15-39 Hitchin Road
