Overgrown hedges and bushes

Reported via desktop in the Hedge problem category anonymously at 20:34, Saturday 17 May 2025

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 1 day, 15 hours, 29 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 7583433.

The hedges and bushes are completely overgrown again from where the underpass comes out right the way up y to the bus stop. It is dangerous as it catches you as you walk along no matter how hard you try to miss it and if you happen to meet someone coming in the other direction you run a risk of ending up in the extremely busy road
