Overgrown Footpath
Reported via desktop in the PROW - Vegetation Obstruction category anonymously at 10:45, Monday 25 May 2026
Sent to Rutland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9502064.
This public footpath is badly overgrown, as it often is in the summer months. Because it is hemmed in by a hedge on one side and a fence on the other side, it's very difficult to walk along it.
The lower part of the path is also on a cross fall slope and very treacherous when wet. Again, this wouldn't be such a problem if it wasn't for being penned in on both sides.
