HP10 0SZ - footpath between Glory Mill Lane and Old Moor Lane - overhanging vegetation, mud and litter.
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6262778.
It is currently impossible to walk along this footpath without coming into contact with the overhanging vegetation - not pleasant in wet weather! Last time the shrubs were cut some vegetation was left lying on the path, becoming mixed up with soil and litter. (Last week I picked up a full carrier bag’s worth of litter Since then more has appeared.) For well over a year the tarmac surface has been covered in places with soil that has fallen down from the steep bank. This, together with the ever present leaf litter, becomes a slippery quagmire in wet weather. I, along with many other residents, would appreciate this footpath being cleared on a regular basis. Thank you.
