Sign/waymarker is damaged problem
Reported via Open311 in the Sign/waymarker is damaged category by Gloucestershire County Council at 15:14, Tuesday 11 June 2024
FixMyStreet ref: 6094240.
11/06/24 email rcvd - Location on footpath that cuts through from Swindon Village to industrial estate just before the bridge and behind 2 Farm Court. Gl51 9RB
I would like to request a member of the team to look into replacing a very old, rusty and now almost ineligible sign post with way markers on, an elderly person with failing eyesight would not be able to read the signage in the post. I will forward photos.
Also , Very near to this is a raised metal plate on the ground with a hole for a post which I recently tripped over making it a hazard as it had been covered in nettles.
Please can this be investigated asap before someone else trips up and ends up seriously hurting themselves.
Photos attached
I look forward to hearing from you
