Pavement outside number 1 Shepherds Mead, LU7 3AH

Reported via desktop in the Pavement Potholes category anonymously at 16:37, Thursday 7 May 2026

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 13220.

There is deep dip where the earth dropped very near to my drive. It is worse with the pavement sloping as well. I twisted my ankle in the dip, lost my balance and fell hard onto the pavement. I was rushed to hospital and remained there for one week . I ask you please to mend that dip to prevent anything happening to other people. Thank you for your consideration and attention.

  • The dangerous dip in the pavement has still not been attended to. I twisted my ankle stepping on it, fell heavily and was 7 days in the L&D hospital. Now with continuous two day attendance of carers to help me to walk and being referred to Circle MSK Integrated Care. I kindly ask you to fix the hole/dip so I can walk safely out of my house. I have collated all evidence to this incident if requested..
