Vegetation starting to obstruct footpath

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown vegetation in Council parks and green spaces category anonymously at 10:53, Wed 3 September 2025

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council 51 minutes later. Council ref: 8112380.

There are significant amounts of buddleia growing in the drainage to one side of the Shrubbery, especially near the top where there is now insufficient space for two people to pass each other. This is being aggravated by vegetation overhanging from the garden opposite. Further down brambles and roses are overhanging from a garden and are now about five feet off the ground.

  • The Old Orchard (1 the Shrubbery, half way down on the Eastern side) has been unoccupied almost ever since it was built 14 years ago. Plants overhanging the path through the garden to the house are occasionally cut back but otherwise it is untended. Generally the streets north of Julian Rd have been neglected with regard to weeds for some months.
