Overgrown footpath

Reported via mobile in the Pavement/footpath/cycleway/bridleway issue (NH) category anonymously at 09:11, Wednesday 29 July 2026

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9864241.

This footpath has narrowed considerably due to overgrown grass and vegetation. It means people are forced to walk closer to the road which is a busy road close to the A21. It is very dangerous. There is a bus stop nearby therefore this footpath is well used. It needs to be strimmed back and returned to its correct size of footpath. Several people struggle to walk particularly with two dogs. It is a dangerous hazard that would be easy to rectify. There is a footpath on the opposite side but that is even worse!

    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.
