Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8155527.
37 Worrall Hill, Lydbrook down to the junction with Worrall Hill Main Road/Valley Road, Worrall Hill Lydbrook. The pedestrian path that runs along side the road is very steep and slippery due to be covered and buried in earth and shrubbery. The path needs some urgent clearing and maintenance. The path is covered in shrubbery, earth, brambles, fallen branches, moss etc... there is also shrubbery and greenery over hanging the pavement. I walk down and back up this pavement twice a day, everyday with my 3yr old son. Walking him to and from Primary School. He has slipped and fallen over several times now. Grazing his knees. Due to the pavement being buried in earth and shrubbery etc... Also I have to keep walking out into the road with my 3yr old son to avoid the low hanging branches/greenery and also because the pavement is buried with earth shrubbery etc... its very dangerous and needs fixing urgently.
