Flooded pavement with muddy verge, 10th March
This issue arises during and after rainfall. This is a paved pavement that connects two villages. When it is raining or has recently rained (in the previous 2 days), this section of the pavement is flooded, meaning you have to wear footwear such as walking boots or wellies to pass through. The verge is extremely muddy and isn't really an option to avoid the flooded pavement. Yes, this is a semi-rural area. But this is a pavement, connecting two villages. School pupils use this path to walk to Heighington school, and people use this path to walk to the pubs and facilities in Heighington. It's not practical unless you don't mind arriving to school or a pub meal covered in mud. I appreciate that the rights of way in the field can and even should be muddy. But this is a pavement. It's supposed to encourage walking between the villages, not put people off. I wear suitable footwear (sturdy gore-tex trail shoes) and I still don't want to walk through this. This has been going on for a long time, and due to the constant damp nature of our climate, this section is usually like this, or worse. I've had to walk into oncoming traffic in the road sometimes to avoid this hazard.

Drain cover on the ramp to Argos goods in shutter., 26th November
Drain cover has become a hazard on the ramp to Argos goods in shutter. We have reported it to our maintenance company to be told it’s a council issue. There is a deep groove where the concrete is wearing away and it is a health and safety risk when receiving our delivery.
This has been an issue for around 6 months, the drain cover was replaced when it was cracked by a pallet last year but it continues to be a problem.
