The path behind the hedge just before Banbury Hill Farm

Yes I can confirm "they" have done a wonderful job of cutting back the hedge entirely. At the risk of sounding like I have nothing to do but moan about these things; I think that the pathway on the other side of the road, which has recently been improved with wood shavings; looks like it will also be difficult to navigate through stinking nettles very soon. It's such a lovely walk or run...

Hi Tony thanks for replying. It was 214/8 and 214/9.

Could some kind person please cut back/destroy the weeds that have grown on the narrow reserve between Fiveways and Baywell Cottage verge. The council refuse as it is not a pavement.Also all the grasses at Fiveways?

Just to clarify
In fact the path from Banbury Hill Farm was actually put in by them so their responsibility as it is not a public footpath as such and I am sure they have just cleared it. They are pretty good and I am sure they look at the forum
Re path between Fawler and Finstock - could you look at the definitive map https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/cms/sites/default/files/folders/documents/environmentandplanning/countryside/definitivemap/defmapPDFs/SP31NE.pdf
Which shows the foot paths and I presume it is the one labelled 214/8 Helen - is that right?

I saw some people cutting it back this afternoon. Forum readers, no doubt.

Tony do Cotswold wardens cover the path between Fawler and Finstock? It's extremely overgrown with nettles and thistles etc at the moment. My jog there ladt night turned into a bit of a jungle exploration!

The path behind the hedge just before Banbury Hill Farm now has quite a few brambles and stinging nettles encumbering the path. I've got quite a few scratches whilst jogging already. Should I inform a particular party or would someone be kind enough to take some secateurs with them next time they're walking up there? I would do it myself but I imagine I'd probably get some strange looks jogging along with secateurs!
