There is a mass of vegetation originating from this house which is so obstructing the footpath that pedestrians going to Saffron Health Centre MUST step into the carriageway to avoid it. It's a terrible situation, especially as all traffic is coming from behind the pedestrians. Further away from this vegetation there are also bramble-type branches over the footpath, also coming from this house. This needs sorting urgently !!

  • Thank you for submitting your Highways report.
    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
