Trees/shrubs growing over the pavement

Reported via desktop in the Trees category anonymously at 14:20, Wed 6 September 2023

Sent to Royal Borough of Greenwich less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4965336.

For several months the trees and shrubs in the front garden of the property at 29 Green Lane have grown out over the public pavement. This is a hazard to pedestrians, especially those who are blind/partially sighted or wheelchair users, as there is not enough space on the pavement to walk unobstructed. The Council needs to cut the foliage back and charge the resident for doing so.

  • Seems to have vanished from the map - Greenwich council up to their old tricks again, deleting reports rather than fixing them.

  • Still not on the map. Even though I pay my council tax, RBG seem to think it appropriate to hide my report. The issue is still there, and due to the height of the trees it disproportionately affects men, so by failing to deal with this issue RBG could potentially be in breach of the Equality Act 2010.

However, the owner of the property appears to have had the bushes obstructing their front gate cut back, what a shame they couldn’t have extended the same courtesy to passing pedestrians.
