The surface i.e. stone slabs & cobbles along the eastern footway on Windsor End (from The Royal Saracens Head to 15 Windsor End, including the ramp in between) is extremely slippery and we receive reports of falls there throughout Autumn/Winter.

There are various issues to tackle - Removal of any moss/lichen, daily removal of fallen leaves, gritting in frost, and ultimately applying an anti-slip treatment to the surface along there soon on a calm day weather-wise.
