Public Footpath alongside River Welland parallel to Stamford Road

Reported via desktop in the Vegetation/Hedges/Trees category anonymously at 12:42, Tue 15 July 2025

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 2849648.

Resident concerned that the public footpath has become overgrown and has got narrower. Request that the shrubbery is trimmed back. There is a steep drop to the river that is full of nettles. It is a public right of way and are concerned that somebody may fall and have a nasty accident.
