People have made another path through the wood close to the back fences of Southgate Wood, only yards away from the parallel original wider path through the wood. The proximity of the path to the houses has led to people throwing litter and bottles over the fences and actually smashed number 3 Southgate Wood’s kitchen window throwing a bottle over earlier this month. I wondered if you could help deter people walking on the path close to the houses and use the other path which is just yards away and parallel to it instead.
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7323130.
There are lots of trees which have been marked to be felled throughout this wood, and I was wondering whether some of the tree trunks/larger branches could be left lying across the path which runs closest along the back fence of 3 Southgate Wood so that people are encouraged to walk on the parallel path further away from the fence instead, or whether the wood chip from shredding the trees when felled could be spread on the further path away from the fence to making the surface condition less muddy when wet and more attractive to use instead, therefore making the properties of Southgate Wood more secure and less prone to vandalism please.
