Pavement sunk - getting worse - fills with water
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6567247.
The pavement has been sunk for 4 years now and is getting very bad. Old people whom travel from the old people’s home mobility scooters nearly tip over when going through it. There is also an old metal decommissioned surface drain next to it taut adds to the water retention plus the road drain repair is sinking separating the whole area with water every time a car passes - which is often in a busy A road.
