Road and Footpath

Reported via mobile in the Blocked - Flooding of Road/Path category anonymously at 08:41, Sunday 15 June 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7710888.

The over grown grass and weeds have been just getting overwhelmed by the week since springtime and it’s looking like a shambles and a risk for everyone to trip on the footpath and a risk the road will flood because the road drains are now disappearing of the undergrowth. Please can this be sorted for H&S issues and let the whole terrace be informed in an advance of the works so the roadside can be cleared of cars for the work to be carried out. Thanks
