Dangerous unstable path. My husband fell yesterday down the bank into the nettles and brambles. Thankfully he was not seriously hurt

Reported via desktop in the Surface is damaged category anonymously at 11:13, Mon 30 June 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7784836.

The PROW behind Wades farm. Walk up Wades farm track and there is a metal gate to your left up a couple of steep steps. You then walk through two wooden gates with a polytunnel between them. Walk straight ahead to the stile that leads you to a path on your right. Following the PROW signs. You do not need to climb over as there is room to walk around. As you walk down this path towards the next stile you will find an area of path that is unstable, it goes down, then up, with a steep bank down to your right. The earth is very dry and falls away and there is no stability below
