Overgrown weeds on public footpath
Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 4893798.
There is overgrown weeds on the public footpath between Mells Close and Nunney Close which causes issues for dog walkers, those walking with young children and those on bikes/scooters. They are attractive to dogs and young children and likely to be toxic. The weeds are at the rear of a lot of elderly residents properties and they aren’t in a position to remove them. I am raising it on their behalf as well. Visually, it is unattractive and I have never seen it looking so bad. Are council tax is paid to sort these issues and needs to be done. I will be raising this with our local Councillors. Thank you.

This is a report on the same public footpath behind the bungalows in Nunney Close. There is g clumps of cut grass which has been trod onto footpath from manor Road field and has got saturated by the rain we have had & now is very slippery which made me slip this morning and caused me to fall. There is green moss & algae on the footpath which is also very slippery & now has become a health & safety hazard. There is dog faeces at the side of footpath which children use as well as adults. We pay a lot of council tax so as previous report says the footpaths should be in a safe condition for public to walk and this footpath definitely is not safe.

Thank you for your report regarding the removal of weeds. Our dedicated weed removal crew were funded to operate from April 2023 to March 2024, but unfortunately were unable to complete all of the requests for removal during the period, so we have not been able to action this request. We will still be carrying out removal of weeds that are causing problems as part of our scheduled cleansing work. Our dedicated weed removal crews started again June 2024, if this report it still an issue please report again. Thank you and we apologise for any inconvenience.
