Footpaths so overgrown and hedges pushing you out to walk along the road it isn’t safe

Reported via desktop in the Causing obstruction to pavement/road category anonymously at 09:28, Wednesday 24 July 2024

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6268444.

All along the footpaths A38 from Stratfordbridge running into Tewkesbury the hedges, trees and long grass are forcing you to walk in the road which isn't safe. The footpath in that whole stretch is so overgrown you can't see most of it let alone walk on it. I appreciate 'going wild' for the bugs, bees etc but not when it puts humans safety at risk and we can't use our footpaths that seems a step too far.
