Thornes on footpath \ cycle path

Reported via desktop in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 09:42, Tuesday 6 January 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8633202.

East bound carriage way from worthing lyon farm to sompting the hedge has been cut back . This has left thousands of thrones and brambles along the entire stretch of footpath from lyons farm to sompting. This is a main cycle route from both worthing and sompting . If a unit could attend with a leaf blower and clear the footpath .

Yeterday i received two punctures on my bike due to brambles .

Many thanks
