The footpath runs next to my garage. The footpath surface is above my garage floor level. The tarmac along the footpath is significantly degraded and the damaged tarmac has washed away and been replaced by silt and plants. This is causing water ingress into my garage due to water sitting above the level of the garage floor. The water escaping from the degraded tarmac into my garage is causing damp in the garage. The condition of the footpath is consistent with being in this condition for a significant period of time.
