Hi A large hole has opened up on the footpath from Orpington station. The hole is about 20 metres from the top of the steps from the station car park.

It looks like it needs to be filled before it gets worse. Thanks

  • We have been reporting this for years, that a significant stretch 25 - 50m is at an angle and slipping down the siding. It is dangerous for elderly and lethal in the winter with wet or icy surface. You were asked for years to be proactive, shutter the lower side and then level with tarmac. I see a tiny area has been marked for repair. Can you please fix it properly and remove elements of the ever increasing slope.
