Overgrown path

Reported via desktop in the Other (non-highways) category anonymously at 10:21, Monday 28 August 2023

Sent to Hart District Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4933085.

Looks like our street and park maintenance people started to finally clear the years and years of pathway growth clearing but stopped for some reason. The path between Quince Tree and the park (Bell Meadow) has been slowing getting smaller and is long due some clearance. Perhaps the maintenance crew could complete the work.

  • Thank you for bringing this up but we cleared this part of the path free of charge while we where cutting the hedge and verge as one of the team was finished his part of the job and thought he would clean the entrance up

  • Thank you for getting back on this but i have to say the answer is a bit of an excuse and quite lame. These jobs should be performed on a regular basis as a matter of cause not just because one of your chap had some spare time to use up some hours. One would think that these jobs should be on a schedule.

    Just about every path you walk down in Hook is overgrown above and below and i understood that this was the purview of Goslings maintenance?

  • Not fixed but had some lame excuse from Goslings that one of the workers was bored so started to clear the path. This now begs many questions but should be put on the maintenance schedule to clear all the paths in Hook.

  • Please don’t slate my company if you haven’t got the decency to provide your name to the issue

    As I said last time we cleared the entrance free of charge this is not part of our maintenance schedule….. if you would like to bring this to the parish councils agenda and get it added to our schedule then we would be more than happy to carry out the extra work required … I have never said the problem is fixed and sorry you have a problem with my company but if you want to be anonymous then I can’t help you out

  • No one is slating anyone off.

    If i report something on this website i would expect it to go to the appropriate authority not to have to deal directly with the contractor.

    I would expect the parish council deals with the contractor, surely that is the Raison d'être of this website.

    I will continue to report issues via this website until at such time they are fixed.

    Thank you for your attention on this matter.
