Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9270081.
The kerb is about 2" high and at an angle of about 60 degrees when approached from the roadway, I live at nr 60 and my wife who is disabled has to cross this road on her mobility scooter to go to the town. Trying to bump up this kerb causes the handlebars to be wrenched sideways causing damage to her wrists (and the scooter). The alternative is to drive up the middle of the road until she can use a dropped kerb to a private crossover about 30 yards away. There is usually cars parked on both sides of Station Road restricting the through traffic to a single lane. Driving her scooter up the middle of this restricted lane is dangerous. A level transition from the un-adopted access road to the adopted footpath is needed to ameliorate this situaution. Previously this had been judged by Fix my Street as not being a problem. It obviously is. Your reconsideration of this matter will be appreciated
