# Overgrown Vegetation, 163 Deans Avenue, Riccarton, Christchurch 8011, New Zealand

Riccarton, Christchurch · filed 4 June 2026 · report 8363314
https://www.chch.live/report/8363314

> There are often bins or scooters here, but the real problem is that cutting the hedge back left regrowth and a ridge of raised earth that is unusable as footpath. I often have to step into the roadway to make way for a group of suitcase wheeling tourists, or a rough sleeper with a shopping trolley... .with my back to traffic popping up fast around the corner. I am old and yesterday nearly fell on the road, when I tripped on a concrete block hidden in the leaves (uncovered in 2nd photo)
