Major footpath trip hazard - dukes wood drive
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6432384.
Like most of Dukes Wood drive’s roads and pavements - yet another issue that has been reported to BC and ignored for years. While out for an afternoon walk I tripped and fell on this. I shall also be raising this to the local council. How is this allowed to be reported for years and nothing done about it. How are the pavements here so bad but others regularly fixed?
