Path/Way misused by unlawful users problem
FixMyStreet ref: 5894814.
email rec 22/04 - Hi, I understand you are responsible for glos footpaths.
As you will be aware, many footpaths in the county are blocked by farmers, styles dangerous etc. probably too big a problem to resolve.
However, here is a very simple one - completely straight forward.
Footpath from upper lutheridge farm nailsworth towards pike tip. From farm take path to left across well grazed field, then straight across minor road, keep straight towards pike tip. Few yards from made road there has beef a pile of semi solid farm manure with footpath dividing. Last thursday an enormous load of almost liquid slurry has been poured directly onto the footpath, maybe 1metre deep and 10m circle. This shiwn in attachment
Its about the worst and clearest case of intended obstruction, and as your legal responsibility I consider you should take action as a deterrent to ithers.
Regards
