Sent to Cheshire East Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 4966200.

Over grown hedging, brambles, holly etc has been an ongoing issue for years. Making it at time’s impossible to walk on path, there is also a dip in the pathway that also makes it impossible to use it? Especially as it fills up when it rains, can’t step through it or go round it on path as the overgrown hedges make it impossible. The grass verges have overgrown their own space and has reduced pathway, being left to walk on verges when pathway has become unusable can cause users to Slip, falls, holes in verges are cover with the over grown grass, can cause twists to ankles and pulling of backs, never mind the muddy and slippery shoes wear we are left to sort out. Putting what should be a short and save walk to the shops off putting and unsafe. At times the only thing we can do is walk on road or cross over. Which is not an option for the elderly, those with restricted mobility issues, the blind and the generally public. Please can you also sort out the tree root as it blocks the view from drivers and is an additional hazard for walkers. Have reported this several times to our local council and they have advised me to use this.
