Footpath resurfacing a total failure - substandard works

Reported via desktop in the Pothole / Failed Reinstatement category anonymously at 09:35, Thu 5 June 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7665122.

These footpaths were resurfaced a matter of weeks ago, to an entirely substandard level.

Weeds are already growing through the new surface. The new surface is already deteriorating. The new surface has pools of water forming on it, as it is uneven in areas.

I would like the Council to instruct its contractor to remedy their substandard workmanship, as no doubt is required by their contract.

  • Significant amount of weeds growing through the "slurry", crumbling already and not at all addressing any uneven surfaces, as was previously advised by you. Total joke, done by the lowest bidder, by the looks of it, and WNC just taking it dry up the back passage and fobbing council tax payers off. Shameful
