The pavement opposite Britten Road by the cable/BT box is now so overgrown it’s not possible to get past in a wheelchair or with a buggy

  • Thank you for your Highways report.

    As this vegetation is privately owned, CBC will need to issue a letter to the landowner to request this is cut back promptly.

    Many thanks,

  • The vegetation has not been cut back and has continued to grow so that you now have to walk on the grass rather than the pavement and around the Virgin Media green box. Obviously it’s not possible to get by with a wheel chair.

    Unfortunately these shrubs have continued to grow and now cover c75% of the path so you have to go onto the grass which is not going to be very easy as winter sets in.

    Nothing has happened yet and the hedge has kept growing with the mild weather.
