The weeds and prickly bushes are growing through the fencing from the park, onto the pavement. It is not possible to safely walk or push a buggy on the pavement. The issue is worse on the corner and leads all the way up to the pedestrian park entrance. The issue has been present for 3months.

Updates

  • Thank you for reporting overhanging vegetation.

    If plants or trees on private land are blocking the street, we’ll ask the owner to cut them back. If they don’t do this within 28 days, we’ll write to them again giving them 14 days further notice and if action is still not taken we will arrange for the work to be done at the owner's expense.

    Did you know…?
    In 2024 we issued 469 notices to owners of property with vegetation overhanging the public highway.
