Action scheduled
Footpath has failed and drop kerb chipping away.
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6233477.
The pavement and the tarmac has chipped away over the past two years, which in turn has now made the drop kerb incredibly dangerous & hazardous to pedestrians and esports mothers with buggies. The tarmac now gets flooded with heavy rainfall and there’s now a pothole which collects pools of water, then floods onto the path outside number 63 - 65 Albert Street. Only today (15/7/24) an elderly person tripped and fell outside whilst walking as the tarmac is now “raised” and uneven. It doesn’t help that cars and delivery vans often drive up on the kerb as this is a one way Victorian Street! I would hate to see someone seriously injured from not realising the tarmac and kerb is loose and end up in hospital.
