Uneven ground, slim pathway

Reported via mobile in the Footways and Pavement damage category anonymously at 15:53, Wed 24 July 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later

I'm based at RAF Benson and use this pathway as part of a running route. There's part of the pathway that is elevated from the road. To pass someone on this part of the path then one person may need to move into the nettles. I'm not sure how large prams and pushchairs would make it though. The first time I twisted my ankle it was on a part of the path where the soil is merged into the path. Today it was on a part where the tree roots have made the path uneven.

Whilst it is excellent to have a pathway to walk/run into Benson Village and I appreciate a whole new path would be expensive. I don't believe this particular part of the pathway is fit for purpose.
