Path sloping into ditch
Reported via desktop in the Passage-Obstructed/Overgrown category by Marion Darnell at 07:38, Saturday 16 May 2026
Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 9460462.
The path VC15 here is sloping sideways towards the ditch due to erosion. Fortunately, the ditch is dry at the moment, but when the path is wet and the ditch has water in, it could be tricky. There was a board at the side of the path, but the early spring wet weather has allowed it to slide away.
