The shrub has completely overgrown the footpath, making it unusable for pedestrians, and is now encroaching into the road. This is restricting adjacent parking spaces, preventing cars from fitting properly and blocking doors from opening on the shrub side.

    The issue has not been fixed. The shrubbery is still overgrown and continuing to get worse. The footpath remains unusable for pedestrians, restricting disabled access to the estate. It’s also causing problems for cars parking in the adjacent spaces. Please arrange for this to be properly addressed as soon as possible.
