Dog walker says overgrown coast path is a danger

WALKERS say the coast path between Clevedon and Portishead has become unusable because it is so overgrown.

North Somerset Council used to carry out work on the coast path, cutting back brambles and weeds, each May and September. But people who regularly use the path say parts are now becoming impassable and dangerous because the council has not carried out the works.

Floss Morgan, who lives in Walton- in-Gordano and uses the coast path every day to walk her dog, has logged numerous complaints with the council over the past three months.

Floss, who is also a parish councillor, said: "The area officer came down in May and took photos of the path and said how bad it was, but nothing was done. In some areas the vegetation is so thick it pushes you towards the cliff edge."

North Somerset Council spokesman Nick Yates said: "We are aware of this and apologise that it hasn't been cut back before now.

"Our teams have been extremely busy due to the ideal growing conditions recent weather has provided.

"We have instructed an additional contractor to start on this particular area next week."
