“It will not be long before some elderly person trips over and breaks a leg.”
An East Sussex Highways spokesman said: “We appreciate the concerns raised by the resident, but would like to reassure them that our contractor is expecting to start weed spraying next week, weather dependent.
“We have more than 5,000 streets to look after across the county and carry out one weed spray a year on channels, kerbs and footpaths. More information about weed control and our weed spraying programme can be found on our website - www.eastsussexhighways.com
