Builders at property on corner of gurney close and Furzefield Road are blocking the footpath with a barrier and in so doing closing the footpath.
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7688034.
Builders are closing a footpath with a sign to allow them to use the strip of pavement outside the construction site for works access. This is blocking the access to pedestrians. They way the builders park along here then makes crossing the road safely quite difficult as it is not possible to see around the vans and cars. It also makes exiting gurney close in a vehicle dangerous.
