Shrubs and trees over growing obstructing well used footpath
Reported in the Obstruction category anonymously at 18:21, Sun 20 September 2020
Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2303733.
The shrubs are starting to obstruct the pathway all the way along. They are growing along the sides and growing up through pavement cracks meaning you have to step over them. There are trees over hanging too at eye height, it has significantly got worse over the summer to the point you will be scrapped or the leg by a bush or poked in the eye the local residents use the lane to take our bins out For collection. I am disabled and this obstruction is dangerous for me. The exact location is behind the houses of Ebenezer lane and 26-32 south dene. It leads off the car park where we leave our bins for collection.

This is still a big problem for local disabled residents. Still shrubs and overhanging branches are obstructing the pathway as detailed in the original description. No investigation, update or clearance has happened. Following a phone call in December 2020 to you to chase this up still nothing has been done.

This issue is a lot worse and has not been resolved, no investigation, update has been provided. 9 months later the issue is worse and residents are unable to safely walk down the lane. It is nearly impossible to get waste black bins out along the lane for collection now. There are now shrubs/ tall weeds growing between the pavement slabs up to a few feet high the over hanging branches are at head height and the shrubs along the side are sharp. This issue has deteriorated a lot since I brought it to your attention twice previously and you can see from the photos.
