Flooded path is now impassable for all but fit and agile

I first reported this problem in November 2015. The flooding here (caused by a canal leak, apparently) is now worse than ever. The verges to either side are now deep mud. The stretch at top left in the photos is especially bad. This section is hazardous for all and will be practically impassable for some. Because there's no advance warning (the existing signage is sited at the problem area), people find themselves confronted by the issue without a clear notion of alternative routes.. If a temporary urgent repair (duckboard?) isn't possible, some advance signage north of the H6 road bridge (suggest people cross the bridge and follow the east side of the canal) and at the junction of the east-west Redway with Colesbourne Drive (suggest people follow Colesbourne to Stanway Close) would be a help.
