Safety Hazard. Unstable Temporary Plate

Reported via mobile in the Pavement Defect category anonymously at 13:11, Tuesday 7 January 2025

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6945084.

Two temporary plates are being used where the public footpath has been eroded. One side of the plates is now only supported by a thin rotting timber. If this breaks there will be a catastrophic failure. The plates will fall into the brook. And someone might fall with them. A bank repair is urgently needed. Perhaps Gabions filled with stone to retain other fill.

Asset ID: FP134

    Only one plate. The other is now in the brook. Remaining plate is supported by a rotten piece of thin timber.

    Just how long is this investigated going to take. Are consultants making a fortune out of this? Just speak to the Friends of Sparrows Woods for volunteering to assist. Provide either gabions and materials, or perhaps some materials for a reinforced earth bank, or simple boarding and hand installed ground anchors. Our you will be investigating an injury. If so the council will be negligent - as had amble notification and then opportunity to fix this.
