Opposite the sainsbury petrol station. adjacent to lampost #5

Reported via desktop in the Pavement and Cycle path category anonymously at 22:18, Mon 14 July 2025

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 425292.

The pavement is bulging up approx 75mm X 400mm caused by tree roots. This caused me to trip resulting in grazing to my hands and knees. The position of the damage by the lampost could be dangerous to anyone pushing buggies/walking frames as it might be difficult to see.
