Footpath between Church Road and New Road
Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 424937.
Surface is seriously broken. Where it was originally made of bricks many of these are broken, loose or no longer in place revealing numerous dangerous holes. Where there have been repairs this is using tarmac fo cover holes but this, too, is seriously cracked and broken with also numerous holes making much of the footpath difficult to safely walk and has caused many trips and falls. It is also almost impossible for people with prams or push chairs to safely navigate. Overhanging bushes are also causing much of the length of the alleyway to be very dark, impacting the potential identification of physical problems caused by the dangerous footing
