Action scheduled
Footpath by St Johns Road leading to Kings Ride
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6408922.
Timber edging to footpath too high, causing my mobility scooter to become wedged on it as I need to straddle the timber to get past the double barriers into St Johns Road. Need to either reduce the height of the timber edging or raise to adjoining ground level. Also the tarmac has several large mounds due to raised tree roots and is broken up - needs levelling. See attached photos.
