The public footpath that veers off between two sheep paths is never maintain. Regularly over grown in the summer with nettles. It then doesn't get used because of risk of being stung and tripping over weeds. The footpath leading up to was resurfaced two years ago and I putty any poor child in a push chair as they will get stung in the face ! These are meant to be Public Footpaths yet the maintenance is non existent

I think the time scale of 90 days is quite ridiculous!? We will be in autumn by then and the vegetation will be dying!
