Path outside the set back houses

Reported via mobile in the Trees category anonymously at 09:39, Wed 18 September 2024

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 411527.

Tress and bushes are over grown. Owner of the house regularly puts out what some would say is rubbish for others to up cycle as is popular in Barton. No attempt has been make to tidy the trees/bush and the path is now completely blocked. The council contractors that cut the grass regularly cut the grass outside the house between the house and the trees - it’s unclear to me who is responsible for the trees but as the council cut the grass I’m leaning to that direction. I did chuckle the other week as the grass cutter shredded some books that where left to rot. Thank you.
