Pavement in between the bench and Surfin Cafe

Reported via desktop in the Pavement and Cycle path category anonymously at 11:57, Thursday 11 June 2026

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14778.

The pavement is very uneven and has been for a few years now. My Dad (79years old) tripped over one of the raised blocks on Wednesday 20th May 2026 and broke his wrist in 2 places and a bone in his arm. As he is on blood thinners (due to other health issues), he was bleeding very heavily. An ambulance arrived and took him to Bedford hospital.
