Reported via mobile in the Street category anonymously at 14:48, Thu 21 July 2022
Sent to London Borough of Bexley less than a minute later. Report ref: 3694853.
Hedgerow is very overgrown making it difficult for pedestrians, especially if you have a child in a buggy etc. Also cyclists use this a no cycle lane on this stretch of lower road. People are having to walk on the wrong side of the crash barrier. Extremely dangerous. This is on Lower Road just pass the Battle Road turning going towards Erith as you approach junction for Bronze Age Way.

These overgrown hedges and bushes are still a problem. Trying to get across the bridge yesterday on the pavement with my mobility scooter was ridiculous. This was first reported on 21st July and yet nothings been done. Why should I scratch up my legs on branches when riding by. This area is totally inaccessible for disabled people. I will be contacting my local MP

These trees have overgrown to my side of the fence and are causing damage to the vehicle parked in the drive. In the last year, during strong winds some branches have fallen off as you will see. This would need urgent attention.
Thanks
