The hedgerow on the left hand side of Daws Hill Lane( travelling toward Flackwell Heath) is so overgrown it reduces the footpath to single file walking. This is dangerous to all but potentially fatal for school children who will shortly be using it throughout the day.

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 5 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 1734044.
This is a narrow pavement with a low kerb and with the speed of traffic along Daws Hill Lane one false step could end in a fatal accident. Currently there is a stretch of c. 50 yards where only a single person can walk literally inches from passing traffic including busses and heavy trucks. This footpath is used by schoolchildren to/from St Michaels and Marlow Road Schools and has anyone seen children walk single file??

The footpath here is now very overgrown that you have to walk in single file on the path. Due to the large volume of children that walk home from school this isn’t happening and children are walking in the road. This is an accident waiting to happen when the children come out of St Michaels and needs trimming back.
