Subject: Urgent Concern Regarding Overgrown Foliage on Lincoln Avenue
I am writing to bring to your attention a hazardous situation caused by overgrown foliage on Lincoln Avenue, specifically protruding from the garden of 130 Boultham Park Road. This morning, while walking along the pavement, I turned and inadvertently walked into large foliage that is obstructing the public pathway. As a result, I fell into the foliage and sustained an injury to my back.
This overgrown vegetation poses a significant danger to pedestrians, particularly to those with visual impairments or mobility issues, as it severely restricts the usable width of the pavement. The obstruction is especially concerning for vulnerable individuals, such as blind or partially sighted pedestrians, who may not be able to navigate around it safely.
I urge you to investigate this matter promptly and take appropriate action to have the foliage trimmed back to ensure the pathway is safe and accessible for all. Additionally, it may be necessary to contact the property owner at 130 Boultham Park Road to address the maintenance of their garden to prevent further incidents.
Please confirm receipt of this letter and let me know what steps will be taken to resolve this issue. I would appreciate a response within [insert timeframe, e.g., 14 days] to ensure this hazard is addressed promptly. You can contact me via email at [Your Email Address] or by phone at [Your Phone Number].
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt action to ensure the safety of all pedestrians on Lincoln Avenue.mr Herman manstrante.
