Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5731976.
The pavement outside no 78 Bathurst walk is so bad that an old Sikh man tripped over and fell. This is the 2nd time this has happened, I rang the council and reported the first one, but nothing happened. I did check the old chap but he spoke very little English, so I helped him up and he walked off.
