This has been an issue for months. Children and adults are getting stung and scratched by thorns and nettles. If nothing is done in 4 weeks, I'll do it and invoice the council. It's a health hazard and goes against Bristol's focus on more people walking and cycling

  • My 80 year old mother cannot access this path to go to the shops or bus stop . She recently scagged a pair of trousers on the thorns . I think I will have to take this up with my mp as you don’t seem to be doing anything about this issue .

  • We've referred the issue externally for appropriate action to be taken, as it's not something Bristol City Council is responsible for.
