Footpath overgrown and breaking up
Reported via desktop in the Footpath / pavement problem category anonymously at 11:20, Thursday 1 August 2024
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6302700.
The footpath along Weston Road between Weston Turville and Aston Clinton please is in very poor condition. It has many potholes, broken tarmac more or less the length of this road, overgrown verges encroaching on the path and overgrown hedgerows along the wooded part. The path is not suitable for a mobility scooter and users of these are forced to use the road - very dangerous as their max speed is 8mph and the road is NSL
