Grass verge outside no 2 Chislehurst Road (a and b) is covered in litter and overgrown brambles that are spilling on the footpath

Reported via desktop in the Environmental Services category anonymously at 20:26, Thursday 22 May 2025

Sent to Bromley Council 5 days, 16 hours, 10 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 7607134.

Grass verge outside no 2 Chislehurst Road (a and b) is covered in litter and overgrown brambles that are spilling on the footpath; tall weeds and brambles are growing around old oak tree and spilling on the footpath which is used by residents and Bullers Woods school pupils, making them step onto a very busy road (Logs Hill) to pass.

    Vegetation significantly over grown onto the pedestrian path. Particularly dangerous as large groups of school children use this path to get to Bullers Wood School for Girls and the road is very busy with traffic.

  • Even though this issue has been flagged as "urgent" and "priority" absolutely nothing has been done to remove both: the spring growth around tall English Lime tree on the foot path and all the brambles and spring growth further along the same path. Dangerous, unsightly, ongoing problem of the last 3 years when residents themselves have to prune all this mess, while paying council tax through their noses

    Your contractor barely removed 30% of the growth as shown on photos; I could do it with my secateurs (and had to do it for the last 3 years). There is still at least 50cm to go to the trunk of the tree and this job isn't done. They came two days in the row; first day just sat in their van. Second day sat again and then worked for max 15 minutes then sat again. If they charged you for 2 days work they swindled you. Make them come back and finish the job and remove the waste properly, not leaving it scattered round.

  • Further works are necessary to resolve the issue and have been scheduled for action.
