I've just fallen off my mobility scooter coming onto the private road section of Wykeham Road. I am injured as a result. The mobility scooter landed on top of me. This would not have happened if the street light was working as I'd have been able to see clearly with a working street light!

The pavement is broken along most of Paradise Road, 20th September

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 18:59:51 +0100
51.725227 0.43026

My Brother lives in a carehome at 28 Paradise Road for the last 20 years. In the last 3-4 years walks with a walking frame and the pavement in the road is really difficult. Another who lives their also walks with a frame. Plus there is a park at the end of the road where toddles may walk, cycle, mothers push prams and the pavement is impossible and a safety hazzard. I do not remember during this time when it was last made good.
