Handrail on the stairs to houses is loose. My 83 year old father fell on the stairs, as he was using the handrail for stability to ascend the stairs.

  • The wooden rails have been temporarily fixed by my husband as they had come away from the metal posts completely and were on the floor. The boards will still need replacing as they are slowly rotting. The boards in question are on the right of the stairs leading up from the road to the path in front of 33 & 35. Considering the fall my 83 year old father had because of these rails, I am shocked nothing was done to prevent another accident and that no comment other than the general update notification was forthcoming.
