One Newbie resident who uses the path everyday to cycle to his work in Annan has labelled it an “absolute disgrace”.
The resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “I’ve been trying to contact the council for ages to get the path cut, It’s an absolute disgrace.
“All they need to do is cut it back a couple of feet on either side, there are different weeds and nettles sticking out.
“It feels like we have been forgotten about.”
A spokesperson for Dumfries and Galloway Council said: “The Newbie core path 439 forms part of the Annandale Way and is maintained by the council’s environment team and has been cut twice this year, however a scheduled cut was delayed because of a breakdown of a vehicle.
“We will cut it as soon as possible.”
