Over grown thorny bushes

Reported via desktop in the Obstruction (Not Vegetation) category anonymously at 10:22, Monday 23 March 2026

Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 9168362.

These bushes are now blocking the footpath, local resident has torn their coat and the thorns have left scratches on childs face. please can these be cut back urgently as pedestrians now have to walk in the road, being as that is on a bend in the road, this is not safe either as vehicles cannot see until the negotiate the bend.
