The Northside Footway is overgrown with Trees branches, nettles and shrubs , that it is not wide enough for a person to walk safely . The whole length need cutting back and sweeping to expose the full width of the path again , so pedestrians do not have to walk on the cycleway

In this instance we don’t intend on taking immediate action. Because our current resources are extremely limited we have to focus our enforcement on matters of a significant danger or nuisance to road users. We can, however, continue to monitor the site during our routine inspections and will review the situation. Thank you for reporting this matter.

Please do something about this issue. Your answer to this problem is totally unacceptable, as is your inconsistency of policy for this type of highway maintenance . You only need to look at the higher standards applied on Tritton Road to see the difference . On Doddington road people have to walk on the Cycleway as the footway is overgrown . The Cyclists move at high speed and often give abuse to pedestrian that are walking on the cycleway. This footway is used by elderly people, families with pushchairs , wheelchair users. Please review urgently before someone gets hurt.
