Unusable Path, 13th May
The bushes here ( What3words - ///tender.inner.slick or try ///driver.peanut.stove ) are overgrown (yet again) and causing issues for wheelchairs/buggies/mobility scooters, etc. Some having to lean to avoid them. Safety issue here. Again only a small part but needs to be cut regularly not just when a complaint comes in!
Reported previously (see https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/5915092) on Tuesday 30 April 2024. WBC replied (have ref. number if required) saying not on their land and warning issued. It has always been their land and responsibility, they have always cut it. Perhaps I was not clear where the issue is. It is on the footpath, south side of Ilkley Way to the east of Ashworth Drive. Screenshot attached highlighting the location and a photo of how it looks at present. About 1 ft of usable space at one point. Please do not do a desk based assessment, or a drive past, come and look at it and check the location.

Water leaking from the grass, over the footpath and all across the road. It was a trickle to start with but now coming out in a bit of volume, enough cars will swerve to avoid it and it is right next to a childrens playground. What3words location ///tins.funded.pocket

Hedge Still Needs Cutting, 30th April
This was reported almost 2 years ago, as well as few months back (https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 5520689) and a month back. Told multiple times it would be cut within 28 days. We have had about 1 to 2 inches cut, not enough, it needs cutting back 2 foot (yes it does overhang the footpath that much). On the east side of Ilkley Way, just prior to Glenmore Close ( What3words: ///under.peanut.wide ) plants are growing and restricting passing. You can only walk single sided. And you would again struggle to get a wheelchair user pass. Please can you get it cut back, force action, cut it yourselves and charge whoever should be doing it? And please don't just drive by to check, get out and check, get a wheelchair and try yourselves!

Only 1 ft of path usable - restricted access, 15th March
Path covered by hedgerow (not usable by disabled) Category: Pavements/footpaths The hedge/bush/plants here totally cover the path. There is about 1 foot of path left visible at one point, less if it has been wet and the branches sag down. The whole stretch needs cutting back to the property boundary. You cannot walk side by side here, disabled users simply cant get past, i.e. a wheelchair/mobility scooter pass without going on the grass (difficult with wheelchair) which in this weather is a no go. And same for pushchairs/prams. The issue has been reported multiple times over the last few years, first reported this year back in May/June/September. Https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/4598739 https://www.fixmystreet.com/ report/ 4683426 https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/4994405 In October ( https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/5150394 ) and December ( https://www.fixmystreet.com/report/5308210 ) and this year were told notice/order made for this to be resolved (i.e. cut) within 28 days. So here we are still no resolved. If the property owner is not going to do it, council need to and charge back to the owner. We need a path everyone can use. What3words: ///heave.hails.update
About an inch was trimmed, if that, has been trimmed back. Still nowhere near enough to get a pushchair, mobility scooter or wheelchair pass the first bit and tight against the rest. The path is about 4ft wide (guessing) and the bushes at one point are covering all but 1ft. There should be at least 1 meter of path for accessibility, if not the whole path (i.e. the bushes need to go back to the property boundary (as indeed they should all around Ilkley Way - they don't by the way).

Dog poo bin overflowing AGAIN!!, 13th March
This bin is disgusting. It has dog poo piled on top of it from where it is full and people are too lazy to take it home. However the bin wouldn’t get like this at all if the council emptied it properly and emptied it regularly as is clearly required.
