Flooding due to poor construction

Reported via desktop in the Pavements/footpaths category anonymously at 15:35, Tue 20 April 2021

Sent to West Sussex County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2681964.

Firstly, I'd like to highlight that there has been a big community effort led by Midhurst Green Volunteers to clear the cycle path from Midhurst to Stedham. This has been in response to growing demand for improvements to cycling and walking infrastructure in the Midhurst area and in keeping with UK Govt's drive to encourage more sustainable transport. The section from June Lane to the 2nd layby has now been completed (see photo 1). The local volunteer team is however unable to put right mistakes made at the time of construction when 2 drains were installed at the wrong location in relation to the slope of the path (see photo 2 and 3). The result is that after any short period of rain, water sits on the path which soon turns into a muddy bog and becomes impassable for the majority of cyclists, pedestrians and mobility scooter users. I have more photos to illustrate just how bad the path becomes but I am unable to upload more than 3 photos. Please contact me if you would like to see these.
