Overgrown trees & undergrowth

Reported via desktop in the Obstruction caused by tree category anonymously at 13:28, Thursday 15 May 2025

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7574178.

Footpath behind Church Lane is not being maintained by GAA Gloucester Angling Assoc. which owns the fishing rights on Gardeners Pool. They "re-opened" footpath which had been unused for years, put up fence & planted "boundary trees". The trees & undergrowth are now overgrown, especially at the east end of the path where it emerges onto Church Lane, but the fishing club do not maintain at all. Whole length needs cutting/maintaining. Trees are now tall & blocking sunlight.
