Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 420589.
Apologies I didn't realise I could respond to your findings on this site. Trees were reported last year as being across the path way and a council van came with chain saw and cut the tree down and piled up the trunks on the side of the pathway. As the trees have fallen over more and grown so big. I believe that the neighbours have cut the trees down and piled them up against the path. I am not sure if your volunteer has given you pictures of how much this alleyway is so overgrown. I am happy to help move all the tree trunks and clear, but can you provide a truck to put them in. I understand we are at the end of a financial year so is it possible to add this alleyway to the list of jobs from April. I have no idea how a parent manages to walk down here with a pram and child. As it is hard enough to manoeveur into the undergrowth with my dog when people walk the other way.
