Dangerous, broken pathway surface opposite 21 London Road, Aston Clinton
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9041096.
The pathway is broken and very uneven creating a potential trip hazard and due to the camber towards the road it means bikes, buggies and motorbility scooters are at risk of steering into the busy road. Primary schoolchildren use this route every day to walk to school and are being put at risk on what is a fast and narrow stretch of road. The surface needs completely replacing. What’s more, the pathway width has been reduced by overgrown bushes and the earth bank creeping onto the pavement surface by at least 1-2 feet. This has been reported before by me and at least one other local resident. My last report said it was resolved but what actually happened was a broadband company dug a channel in the pathway making it even more uneven and dangerous. It needs resolving.
