The hedge near 1 Bergan walk is severely overgrown

Reported via desktop in the Restricted Visibility / Overgrown / Overhanging category anonymously at 13:43, Friday 4 July 2025

Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7809279.

The hedge near 1 Bergan walk is severely overgrown. The hedge has overgrown into making the pathway that used 5 ft. wide to 2 ft. wide, this makes it very difficult to walk by. additionally it has brambles growing out of it in some parts, this is completely hanging into the path, potentially dangerous as it is a popular path for children to and from school and dog walkers. Due to how much of the path the hedge is covering on the corner, people have to walk single file and you can't see people coming around the corner.
