Cycle path alongside a453 past power station is seriously overgrown by both the hedge and the ground vegetation.

Reported via desktop in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 12:57, Tuesday 23 June 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9669966.

The cycle path is less than half of its original width in many places and makes meeting another cyclist or pedestrian difficult. Hedge contains lots of thorny bushes so when it is cut back the cuttings need to be removed to avoid bike punctures.i have been assured by Notts County Council that this cycle path is your responsibility as it was built as part of the A453 dualling and is on land owned by you.
