Overgrown footpath.

Reported via desktop in the Surface Condition category anonymously at 11:20, Fri 23 May 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7609034.

The footpath on Stoneyflat Bank heading west out of Prudhoe is overgrown on the part of the path that is on a bend.

In a recent communication with Cllr G Stewart, a good part of the path was cleared in record time, but what remains extremely overgrown is the footpath on the bend.

Due to narrowness of the footpath, and the fact that it is on a bend makes it unsafe to walk there. Joggers, walkers, and people with pushchairs and wheelchairs all use the footpath. It is not safe.
