The land next to number 1 Bishopthorpe road is privately owned with no sign of building taking place for over 3 years. The land is overgrown, the fences broken and the thorns, brambles and weeds spilling over on to the pavement. Litter and broken glass collect in the thorns on the pavement and it is unsafe for our children to walk past. The sight of the land and broken fences is affecting the overall aesthetic of the road and has affected the interest of potential buyers to nearby properties.
