The kerb has dropped causing a trip hazard, please see the close up photo. I know that at least one person has fallen due to the uneven kerb. This is the only path that links the Shefford Rd end of the village with the shop, pub, village hall, school etc so it has a large amount of footfall, approximately half the village. It is dangerous especially in the dark. I do not know how long this issue has been present. It may have been damaged by a lorry.
