Overgrown vegetation on shared path
Reported via desktop in the Public Rights of Way category by Cllr Saskia Heijltjes at 14:08, Tuesday 23 June 2026
Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council 18 hours, 24 minutes later. Council ref: 9670550.
The overgrown vegetation is making this shared use path very narrow in places. It includes nettles, brambles and possibly giant hogweed. Other shared use paths get their verges cut regularly, including on the canal towpath, but this path gets forgotten. It is a well-used shared path and the only safe route from Lambridge to the centre of town. Please cut it asap.

Still encroaching so much on the path that cyclists coming downhill znd round thd blind bend can collide with little children walking to school etc. This footpath has a huge footfall and this blind bottlenecks at the very least a nuisance for 100's per day.
