Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6718567.
The footpath has deteriorated over the years and is a danger to pedestrians. It is unsafe to walk on, dangerous for disabled residents with crutches, and impossible to push a wheelchair on. The tarmac has crumbled away, with holes up to 3 inches deep. The old tarmac requires complete removal, and a new surface to be put down to the footpath curb.
