Public footpath adjacent to A507 towards Doolittle Mill

Reported via mobile in the Trees category anonymously at 14:37, Sat 7 December 2024

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 415428.

Since the works to remove treesr and excess vegetation along the A507 earlier this year, these trees have been increasingly leaning over the path. Since May, large branches have started to fall across the path. Recently, their are starting to make the footpath difficult to use, with one branch now almost blocking the gate. This needs remediating with somr urgency, as it means pedestrians have to walk along the dangerous verge next to fast traffic to access the estate.

    We already have maintenance work planned in for this area and the issue will be resolved as part of this work. We are, unfortunately, unable to provide you with a timescale for this to be completed, however, all repairs are prioritised using an assessment matrix in line with our Network Maintenance Management Plan (NMMP).

    We will continue to monitor all defects to ensure the safety of our residents as part of the NMMP which can be found online - http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/ transport/ roads-strategies/ highways-asset-management.aspx
