Broadmoor lane footpath

Reported via desktop in the Vegetation overhanging a road or pavement from private land or property category anonymously at 10:09, Tuesday 30 June 2026

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council 1 week, 6 days, 4 hours, 9 minutes later. Council ref: 9706970.

I’m writing in regards to the Broadmoor lane footpath next to Weston all saints primary school.

The footpath is becoming dangerously overgrown with thistles, at head height for both adults and children. I worried that it’s only a matter of time before someone gets badly scratched and hopefully not in the eyes.

If you could arrange for someone to come and cut these back asap that would be great, I think usually you send a small tractor with a hedge trimmer.

    Hi,

    I snagged my shirt on the brambles earlier but these are at eye height for the primary school kids, especially the younger years. Please can you arrange for this to be cut back asap before someone gets hurt. Thanks!
