Extremely muddy footpath early referral ref 8404861

Reported via desktop in the Cleaning/Sweeping category by Judith Cyster at 20:15, Tue 9 December 2025

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 17 hours, 52 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 8525630.

This footpath was looked at a few weeks back and an approximate 1 foot wide area was cleared and the mud scraped to the side. However since all the rain the mud has been washed backed down and the path is once again extremely muddy.

Also the footpath between Parkfield and the back end of Chestnut Close is also very muddy. Please can these paths be properly cleaned? It was an absolute wastes of manpower to do a half hearted job.
