A STRATTON resident has fears "an accident is waiting to happen" along one of the Bude's well used footpaths.

Hilary Angus, of Stratton, has already contacted Cornwall Council twice this year to ask them to deal with a hedge that is "encroaching on the footpath between Morrisons' Garage and up the hill towards Stratton for about 300 yards".

The council reportedly cuts the hedge about twice a year, and it had responded to Mrs Angus' letters — but only to cut the hedge.
