Action scheduled
End of drive way of 16 Clifton Lawns, public foot path adjacent to Fire Hydrant
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6683706.
There is water hydrant at the end of the driveway of 16 Clifton Lawns. Water extraction at the hydrant by various companies (utilities, council sub contractors, highway maintenance, HS2 etc) has increased dramatically in recent times. To access the hydrant they are mounting the pavement and grass verges and causing damage to both. The deterioration in the condition of the pathway is now a safety hazard for pedestrians.
