Investigating
Farmer is accessing this footpath regularly with tractors, caused huge damage to path. Access to fields can be gained either end of footpath by road, they DO NOT need to use this footpath for access. The footpath has huge divets and holes, it is really difficult to walk along safely. A footpath is for EVERYONE not just a lazy tractor driver.
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8169593.
The whole of this footpath as illustrated by the photos has huge muddy holes caused by huge tractors driving unnecessarilyalong it. It is not an enjoyable way to enjoy the countryside! I have monitored this over the last 12 months and the farmer has done nothing to rectify the damage they have done, they are just making it worse!
