Collapsed verge
Reported via desktop in the Causing obstruction to pavement/road category anonymously at 18:08, Sun 12 October 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro
Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8285910.
The lane is alongside a stream and water rushing down the lane finds it way out into the stream at this point. The pressure of water has washed away the verge and let a large hole over 4ft deap, it has also washed the sub soil out from the tarmac causing te road surface to breake up and fall away. This has been reporte many times but no action has been taken. This lane has no footpath and is unlit he only way off the hill for both Pedestrians and Vehicles. I would call this a Major Healh and Safety issue, The Stream is 10 Foot below the tarmac and any peron or vehicl falling would be seriously hurt,.
