Pavement and Kerb needs relaying
Reported via desktop in the Pavement Defect category anonymously at 14:31, Mon 11 November 2024
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6719021.
Outside house number 12: Requesting urgent attention to the condition of the pavement and kerb in our area, which has deteriorated significantly due to tree root damage. Currently, the roots have lifted and cracked the pavement, creating large fissures throughout the tarmac. Additionally, the roots have breached the kerb and nearby road, with offshoots appearing causing further damage.
The situation poses a serious risk, particularly where the lowered kerb leading up to the driveway has shifted. This has resulted in uneven, cracked surfaces, creating a significant trip hazard for pedestrians. The uneven displacement between the tarmac and concrete is especially dangerous for young children and others walking along the pavement, as they are more vulnerable to tripping on these irregular surfaces.
In light of the safety risks, I urge the council to prioritise repairs to the pavement, kerb border, and driveway area. Additionally, implementing preventive measures to control the growth of tree roots will help prevent further damage to the surrounding infrastructure.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi may I check this has been reopened as we have the spray paint on the pavement showing the section that needs to be relayed. However no work has been done.
