Blocked paths
Document where people cannot pass without stepping into the road.
Community evidence for safer streets
Let’s get our roadsides, verges and paths back.
VergeOverrunUK helps residents document unsafe verge overrun, blocked walking routes, damaged service strips and muddy, slippery pedestrian hazards across the UK.
The problem
More than “long grass”
When verges and service strips are repeatedly overrun, the result can be churned mud, uneven surfaces, narrowed footways, blocked visibility and pedestrians being pushed into live traffic.
This template is set up for local evidence-gathering, public education and signposting residents to the right reporting channels.
Damaged verges
Track repeated overrun, rutting, flooding and mud on pedestrian desire lines.
Poor sightlines
Record locations where junction visibility is reduced or compromised.
Safety risks
Highlight trip, slip and accessibility barriers for pedestrians and wheelchair users.
Submit evidence
Report a verge overrun case
Replace the form action with Formspree, Netlify Forms, a Google Form, or your own endpoint. GitHub Pages cannot process forms by itself.
Evidence checklist
What to capture before reporting
Location
Record the road name, nearest junction, postcode or what3words reference.
Clear photos
Photograph the hazard, pedestrian route and wider street context without identifying people unnecessarily.
Impact
Explain whether pedestrians, wheelchair users, school routes, bus stops or sightlines are affected.
Authority report
Submit to the relevant council or highway authority, then keep the reference number.
Useful links
Replace these with your preferred resources
Add local authority reporting portals, FixMyStreet, highway-code references, accessibility guidance, community rules and evidence templates.
Get involved
Share cases. Build evidence. Keep pedestrians safe.
