Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 418881.
A large, sharp edged sinkage has appeared in the footpath adjacent to where Cadent excavated a large trench for a new gas main recently. The trench was open for some weeks in sand and collapsed several times. In the dark it is dangerous for pedestrians.

This problem was reported over two months ago. The hole is getting worse. This footpath is regularly used by schoolchildren on scooters and the condition of the path will cause serious injury to anyone unfortunate enough to catch it. If you cannot repair it, at least cover it up!

It is now over 3 months since I reported this problem, the status has gone from 'investigating' to 'open' with no action at all. The hole is still increasing and spreading further across the footpath. Please do something about it before someone is hurt.

It is now 6 months since I first reported this problem. The hole is still increasing and is dangerous. Please either fix it or at least cover it up.
