Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8260839.
From corner of Green Hill to edge of first property on Ridgeway the hedges and trees are massively overgrown with barely any pavement left to walk upon. Given this is a route used by Children to access the Grammar School this is a hazard. The pavement itself is also in a deteriorated state - very bumpy and surface broken up
