Pavement partially covered by overgrown bushes and leaf litter from overhanging trees
Reported via mobile in the Overgrown Private Vegetation category anonymously at 13:06, Friday 23 January 2026
Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8751739.
The southern pavement of Higham Road, Burton Latimer, from the entrance to the medical centre, down towards Jacques Close is covered in rotting and slippery leaves with is a potential fall hazard for pedestrians. This is a yearly hazard due to the leaves from the overhanging trees above accumulating along the pavement and that to the best of my knowledge is never cleaned away. There are a lot of elderly people use the GP surgery and these leaves are slippery underfoot.
