Investigating
Footpath hazard/uneven
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6659973.
I am writing to bring to your attention a serious concern regarding the condition of the footpaths in our community. Recently, an elderly resident tripped and fell on one of the footpaths due to its uneven surface and lack of proper maintenance.
This incident raised concerns about the safety of our footpaths for all pedestrians, particularly vulnerable members of our community. It is essential that the council prioritizes the repair and maintenance of these walkways to prevent further accidents.
I urge the council to take immediate action to assess and address the condition of our footpaths to ensure the safety of all residents.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
