The pavement and kerb has totally cracked and it folding up and is only going to get worse. This is a big trip hazard on a pavement that is used by a lot of children parents as we live opposite Russel School. This is right on the boundary to our property and if it gets worse it may bring down a large fence onto the road as the damage is within a foot of the supporting posts.

The Gas works around this estate have resulted in them using Chiltern Close for delivery/pickup of dirt and sand etc over last 2 months and the large delivery lorries cannot fit on the road so are going up the pavement on each visit which has broken this down.
