Hedges growing in to road
Reported via mobile in the Obstruction blocking access category anonymously at 20:37, Wed 6 August 2025
Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7989729.
The council said to report 1 Henshaw Walk again after 28 days if nothing had been done after they sent the owner an enforcement letter. Well nothing has been done. People in the street have to walk in the road as the Hedges cover the pavement and part of the road. Our cars get scratched driving out of the road if a car is parked opposite. Disabled people and children have to walk in the road which is dangerous when delivery drivers pull in to the road fast. The garden is still littered with rubbish and we have to dodge the rats that come out of this garden so please do something this time.

This is becoming a complete nightmare, the rat issue is now worst then ever due to the over grown garden and is becoming a health issue for surrounding neighbours and their children

Just to prove my point whilst trying to walk out of this road today I had to dodge 2 dead rats outside of this house all covered in flies and it is making me scared to walk in my own street.

The problem has not been fixed. The road is a health hazard for families as where the garden is so overgrown, we have rats running wild in this street. And the Hedges obstruct the pavement and the road. We get our cars scratched by the Hedges. Do we need to concact the local MP or will the council do something?
