Footpath between 1 and 3 knights Templar way
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5856196.
Hedge has encroached on to footpath and in places now can’t walk on footpath. I believe hedge is owned by 3 knights Templar way but has not been cut since house was sold and building work started. Cars also park on this bit of footpath at school pick up time so path then completely obstructed.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.

All wild birds are protected. This includes their nests (whilst in use or being built) as well as any eggs the nest may contain. Under the Wildlife & Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), it is an offence to:
- intentionally kill, injure or take any wild bird
- intentionally damage, destroy or take the nest of any wild bird while it is in use or being built (nests of golden eagle, white tailed eagle and osprey are protected all year round)
- intentionally destroy an egg of any wild bird
- intentionally or recklessly disturb certain wild birds or their dependent young while they are nesting (including disturbance of nesting young)

Update
We have investigated the issue reported and found that it is on private land, we cannot use public money to resolve issues on private land, we can only use the power we do have under Section 154 (1) of the Highways Act 1980, to advise the owner/occupier of adjoining land they are required to carry out work on their land so as to remove the cause or likelihood of danger, obstruction or interference to the users of the Highway (footpath).
In most cases the work is carried out very quickly by the owner/occupier, but in some instances this can be a lengthier process but be assured we will follow due process to ensure the work is carried out.
