In progress
Over grown hedge
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8124269.
This hedge makes it impossible to walk on the footpath and disabled members cannot get past without going on to the highway. This makes it dangerous for people to walk down to the village hall particularly now it is getting darker nights, we have e no street lighting at this spot.

Northumberland County Council Update-
We have investigated the issue reported and found that it is on private land. However,
we do have powers under Section 154 (1) of the Highways Act 1980, to advise the
owner/occupier of adjoining land they are required to cut back vegetation so as to
remove the cause or likelihood of danger, obstruction or interference to the users of the
Highway (footpath). In most cases the vegetation is cut back very quickly by the owner/
occupier, but in some instances this can be a lengthier process but be assured we will
follow due process to ensure the work is carried out.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention
