Pavement broken and no dropped curb at entrance to Hoblingwell Wood Recreation Ground

Paving at the entrance to Hoblingwell Wood Recreation Ground is broken and uneven.

Also, there is no dropped curb here which is a barrier to those with limited mobility, wheelchair users, pram/pushchair users, etc.. This presents a hazard to those entering the recreation ground at this point as it is on a busy bend in the road and at the entrance/exit where vehicles are accelerating, up the incline, on exiting.

Please could this entrance be remade, to repair the broken paving and install a dropped curb with appropriate tactile paving, etc.

Many thanks.
