The footpath leading to Heatherton school
Sent to Chesham Bois Parish Council 1 day, 10 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 8244866.
Walking to Heatherton school via the footpath is very dangerous as the bushes and trees are overgrown making the path even narrower. The path is already very narrow and drivers are always mounting the path to ease the traffic blocks in the mornings and afternoons, which causes a great danger to pedestrians and especially children who are trying to walk into school. My daughter on a number of occasions has been walking on the footpath and has had to stop because a car was driving towards her on the actual path. Please can this be escalated to the appropriate team and in the meantime can the path be cleared of overgrown bushes and hedges trimmed back? Many thanks
