Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6721055.
These exremwly dangerous damaged concrete uprights have extended sharp iron protusions at the top and have remained like that for years.
Many people have tripped over them in the past including my wife.
Our next door neighbour fell over these four days ago and very badly caught his head, causing a severe gash to the back of his head and significant loss of blood necessitating an ambulance to Wrexham Park hospital.
Other than being an absolute eye sore, the damaged posts have caused no end if problems over the years both to pedestrians and child cyclists. The broken steel protrusions at the top are in a dangerous state and must be rectified please as an absolute priority.
Fell three days ago catching his head on these
