Action scheduled
Footpath outside of school impassible
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6216545.
The majority of this footpath, used by all children accessing Radnage Primary School is so overgrown it is now impassable. The overgrown hedge contains many nettles, brambles and blackthorn meaning children who try to use it get badly stung and scratched. As a result children and parents are forced onto the road. The footpath is also completely inaccessible to pushchairs and wheelchairs. It is only a matter of time before a child is hit by a car due to this dangerous path.
