Reported via desktop in the Overgrown Private Vegetation category by North Northamptonshire Council at 14:40, Thu 7 August 2025

Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7993506.

I would like to draw your attention to the ongoing issue of overgrown vegetation extending beyond the boundary of the property located at 40 Bienfield Avenue in Corby, which is the vicarage of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul.

Today, while passing by, I was injured by protruding rose stems. Despite attempting to move them aside carefully, I sustained cuts to my fingers. I have taken photographs as evidence. This situation poses a serious risk — someone could easily suffer a facial injury or even eye damage.

I kindly request your immediate intervention to ensure that the vegetation is trimmed back and the public footpath made safe for pedestrians.
