Hitchin road path, in between Fairfield and Stotfold

Reported via mobile in the Pavement and Cycle path category anonymously at 08:49, Fri 20 June 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 424345.

The cycle path along Hitchin road between Fairfield and Stotfold ( the only route to get to school for children who live in Fairfield) is so narrow and difficult to navigate at the best of times especially as it is all over grown with thorn bushes at the moment . Could these be cut back please? It’s very dangerous as trying to dodge these bushes could easily lead to someone falling into the busy road.
