One bollard (the red one on the right in the picture), and a wooden post which formed part of a fence, are both now missing. This gap is now wide enough for a car to fit through - we know this because a car drove through it and along the footpath yesterday! It drove around a third of the way along the track before reversing back out. This is a busy footpath used by school children and walkers and so please could this be fixed as a matter of urgency. Thank you.
