Londonthorpe Lane, just before right turn onto withambrook park industrial estate

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 438814.
Low bush overhangs footpath, which means you either have to walk in a busy dimly lit road or duck down to avoid obstacle. Today I was walking down in the direction of Sunningdale and due to traffic ducked down to pass under the bush and walked head first into the end of a hard to see thick tree branch. It was a very painful and unexpected thing to happen. In the dark it is almost impossible to sport this hazard, I really feel it warrants the bush being cut back to the inside edge of the pathway.
