No pavement on right side
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5007290.
There is no pavement leading to the public footpath at gated Manor Park Avenue and buggies and wheelchairs walking on the right side are forced to walk on the road when joining trying to join this public footpath which is opposite a busy junction. The pavement needs to built all the way to the white gates to protect everyone’s health and safety.

Update
Buckinghamshire Highways operates two methods for safety defect identification; proactively by Highway Inspectors who identify safety defects in line with the Highways Safety Inspection Policy and reactively by Local Area Technicians following reports from the public.
Buckinghamshire Highways are responsible for the maintenance of 2,200 miles of road and 1,500 miles of footpaths in Buckinghamshire, this means we have to prioritise works based on a set criteria which includes issues which may present an immediate danger, or significant inconvenience to users of the roads/footpaths, or to the structural condition of the highway and assets contained with the highway boundary. It is regrettably the case that the limited annual funding available to Buckinghamshire Council each year is insufficient to address all defects identified. For this reason, whilst priority defects will receive a repair within appropriate timescales as dictated by the above policy, more minor issues such as the issue you have reported will not be scheduled for repair.
Please be assured, we will continue to inspect all roads and footpaths in Buckinghamshire in line with our Highways Safety Inspection Policy
