Maintenance of public area

Reported via desktop in the Grass Cutting category anonymously at 14:09, Mon 17 March 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7292005.

I have recently checked my house deeds. There is an area from the public steps onto Hackwood Park and my boundary which has never been maintained by the NCC. Since my husband died I have been paying gardeners to maintain this public area, including the steps. As a single person I am no longer prepared to do this and want NCC to take responsibility for this area…the grass cutting and also the maintenance of the roadside hedges. I thank you in advance.
