Subject: Request for Additional Footpath for Safer Pedestrian Crossing
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6830199.
Hello,
Please could you provide a footpath that allows pedestrians, particularly schoolchildren catching the bus, to cross the corner without having to trudge through the muddy grass verge? Currently, they are unable to walk across the grass area without getting their school shoes extremely muddy and often have to resort to walking along the road instead. This corner is also a dangerous one, and it’s not ideal for pedestrians to be walking on the road. The extra footpath would allow for safer crossing as well.
Please refer to the attached photograph for clarity. The blue line indicates the existing footpath, while the red line shows the additional short footpath that would need to be installed, enabling pedestrians to cross safely into Rawlings Lane.
Thank you for your consideration.

The report has been passed to the Highway Officer, who will carry out an inspection of the issue within 10 working days, emergency defects will be corrected or made safe at the time of the inspection, if reasonably practicable to do so. In this context, making safe may constitute displaying warning notices, coning‐off or fencing‐off to protect the public from the defect or other suitable action. If the inspection team cannot make safe the defect at the time of inspection, then they will instigate the relevant emergency call procedures to ensure appropriate resources are mobilised to make the defect safe.
There may also be occasions when the issue reported will not be repaired as it has been classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
