Tractor Tyre Impressions destroyed Footpath creating dangerous hazard
Reported via desktop in the Path/Way not reinstated after ploughing category anonymously at 15:14, Friday 17 May 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5987277.
The farmers at Doe Bank Farm, the Troughtons, have driven a tractor on the public right of way. In places along the top of Doe Bank, the footpath leading from Little Beckford the impressions left by the tractor tyres are almost 2 feet deep. The footpath is destroyed by a length of over 200 metres and the path is now dangerous to walk on. They have left vegetation grown so much that you cant see these impressions, algae is growing in them in places, and i personally fell over and bruised my hip and another resident of Beckford fell in the same place and has broken his leg. This is no longer acceptable and i am requesting that the farmers not only fill in the impressions but cut the footpath of hazards so the footpath is clearly visible and safe to walk.
