Fixed
Pavement outside House of Spice
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5971008.
The redevelopment of the House of Spice building into residential properties is causing an issue with the use of the pavement. No provision has been made for pedestrians - Pavement Closed signs have been erected. This is a very popular route for access to the Junior and Infant schools, shops and other village amenities. Pedestrians are using the road, which is very dangerous on an already hazardous S-bend.
The contractors need to provide a protected space for pedestrians. Crossing the road and back again is not a safe option as there is no pavement on the opposite side.
