Overgrown vegetation reducing footpath width.

Reported via desktop in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 11:26, Wednesday 2 September 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 10037759.

Hello, I am from the local Highways Team at Westmorland and Furness Council. There is a stretch of vegetation we believe is overgrowing from your land onto our footway that is reducing the width and creating a potential hazard of pedestrians having to walk in the carriageway. If this land is owned and maintained by national highways please can it be arranged to be cut back to allow the minimum width of 1.5 meters. Kind Regards, Caine Hinchley.

Updates

  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.

    If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.

    Kind regards National Highways
