Https://fixmystreet.oxfordshire.gov.uk/report/5320981 The residents use the pavements to access the shops and the communal block at the scheme which houses the laundry. The pathways at the scheme have been dug up several times and covered quite unevenly and this has caused uneven surfaces and lifted drain covers throughout, a lot of the resident rely of walking aids to help them and these are not operating well on these surfaces. Several residents have now had falls at the scheme, one resident recently fell and laid on the pavement for over 5 hours waiting for an ambulance after her walker was stuck getting up the pavement. Another resident suffered cuts and bruises and also reported this problem which was also subseqently closed. I feel that the residents have the right to be confident in taking out their walkers without the fear of falling over and would be grateful if the paths could be looked at. This supported housing scheme houses only residents of over 55. There is also a bridge at the scheme leading to Sainsburys which has been reported for a long time now as having holes in it. This has also caused a trip problem with residents unable to get their walkers out of the holes. I look forward to hearing from you.
