Alleyway alongside 16 Leigh Close
Reported via mobile in the Vegetation overhanging a road or pavement from private land or property category anonymously at 17:52, Sunday 30 August 2026
Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 10025034.
We have lived in 18 Leigh Close since 2016 and have cleared the public footpath and overhanging vegetation from this path since we moved in. The retaining wall alongside the path is in poor condition with a number of vertical cracks and the vegetation growing from the top of the wall is significantly overhanging obscuring light from the street lamp when dark. There is a large pile of cleared vegetation at the bottom of the alley. We cannot be expected to clear vegetation from a public path via our garden waste service which we pay for. Please could the debris be cleared, the vegetation be regularly cut back and the condition of the retaining wall (which appears to be under public ownership) be checked. A property from Ragland Terrace has been using the retaining wall as access for their building work which has increased debris and is, in my opinion as a qualified structural engineer, a health and safety risk in its current condition.
