My wife fell over the trip hazard

Reported via desktop in the Pavement damage category anonymously at 17:45, Tuesday 1 September 2026

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 10034334.

On Saturday 29th August at approximately 14.35 my wife tripped over this raised and poorly reinstated area of paving adjacent to the tactile paving. She sustained a cut to the head (between her eyes) and grazes. This change in level is dangerous, particularly given its proximity to tactile paving. As well as the cuts, my wife was badly shaken, but this could have been a lot worse. There appears to be CCTV covering this area (on the corner of Union Street).
