Overgrown public foothpath

Reported via iOS in the Vegetation blocking road or sign visibility - In the countryside category anonymously at 17:08, Sun 22 June 2025

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 7746367.

Overgrown public footpath that runs along the side of the cycle path, between the cycle path and adjacent field, up over the old rail way bridge. Has had no recent maintenance all the way along it and is becoming impossible to walk along, due to brambles and nettles. It’s about time MSN council got better at clearing footpaths before the paths become impassable. I am constantly raising issues on this app because of footpaths!!!

  • We've passed this report to another team in the council. They will carry out any further work needed. Sometimes it can take a little longer as a result.

    We'll update this report once we've decide what action to take.

    Category changed from ‘Obstructive vegetation’ to ‘Verge cutting required’
