Overhaul.shielding.twitchy

Reported via Android in the Public Rights of way category anonymously at 06:44, Friday 8 May 2026

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 13235.

The footpath is overgrown with stinging nettles and vegetation. Almost un passable. Basically from the entrance to the wooded area to the road. This is mine and and others route from Cranfield to Lidlington. Just needs completely cutting back, wouldn't even take that long.

  • Thank you for your report. This path is on our public rights of way grass cutting contract but we can only currently afford 2 cuts per year - one in May/June and one in September. In some areas, local footpath volunteers help us out. There is not currently a group in Lidlington but if you would be interested in setting one up, please get in touch - https://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/ info/ 82/ countryside/ 433/ countryside_volunteers
