I am writing to report a critical issue on the pathway leading to the recreation ground from Mulso Road, NN9 5DP. The stinging nettles and weeds have grown excessively, creating a severe tripping hazard and causing painful stings to pedestrians. This dangerous condition demands immediate attention and must be addressed without delay to ensure public safety. Please prioritize cutting back the overgrowth as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt action!

  • It's so bad now that not only do your legs get stung, the nettles are so high you have to walk with your arms in the air or you get stung in the hands and arms. Children are being stung every day walking through there.

    It's worse than it was in July. Pathetic lack of response and no action taken. A tripping hazard not to mention painful stinging. The nettles are nearly a metre tall and 80 cm across the path on both sides.
