A group of Nottingham residents say overgrown trees are leaving a nearby path 'as dark as the Black Hole of Calcutta' at night. People living in Skylark Drive, Old Basford said they do not feel safe walking down the scenic cut-through which starts at David Lane and stretches to Bulwell.
Iris Busley, 75, said overhanging trees were blocking the lampposts, and called for them to be trimmed. Persimmon Homes, which owns the land, said it had carried out a survey and would schedule the works as soon as possible.
"You can't see it. It's terrible, honestly, it's like the Black Hole of Calcutta at night," said Ms Busley, who has used the path to get to the main road for 24 years. "We want to feel safe, there's a lot of old people living here. We don't feel safe but nobody seems to care."
