The pavement is severly restricted in width by the undergrowth plus the puddles which form after the slightest rain. People have to walk in the road to pass each other especially with children in pushchairs or on mobility scooters which I use. I have Parkinsons disease and I almost have accidents each time I use the path. The pavement on the East side is braking up which also presents a trip hazard. Some weeks ago surveys were conducted with markings and we hoped this would mean something was going to be done to cure the problem but alas nothing has changed to date. The problem has been getting worse over the last few years exacerbated by the uneven pavement on the West side - which only stretches down to Burtons Way entrance. The curb is so narrow and presents restrictions on keeping pedestrians safe. Please tell us when this essential/important work is to be planned.
