Grass verge outside Vine House

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 2 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 1337589.
In follow up to an email dated February 2017 (initial enquiry 46037227) I have now had an accident on the grass verge outlined in the original enquiry. The grass verge I'd located in front of Vine House.
On Monday 21st I fell down the verge and broke my ankle, it was operated on the next day due to the severity. My initial request was to change it to a concrete curb. I was expecting twins and I expressed my concern due to the height of the verge and how awkward it was accessing my car with a 7 year old let alone twin babies. I felt that especially in the winter months the risks were heightend due to the weather.
I am now 3 weeks with a cast and I am unable to get into or out of my car outside my house, my husband has to drive my car up the road in order for me to get in when we make any trip. I have a further 3 weeks in the cast and once removed a further 2 weeks minimum where I will still be using crutches as I will only be able to partially weight bare. To add to my stress my twins are now 14 months old and as I'm sure you can appreciate it is far from an ideal situation.
I'm anxious once my cast is off that I will not be as stable and I will still have to carry out every day tasks such as putting my babies in the car on what I still consider ( emailled in 2017) to be a unsuitable and in fact dangerous grass verge.
I look forward to your response in this matter.
