Jacob’s Ladder No.2, large crack in footpath

Reported via mobile in the Pavement damage category anonymously at 07:17, Fri 19 July 2024

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council 5 hours, 10 minutes later. Council ref: 6248359.

This crack has appeared very recently (past week maybe?) near the first lamp post on the right as you head down the footpath, down the very steep edge of Beacon Hill. Over the past six months there have been multiple cracks and dips appearing along the full length. I’m concerned it may suggest slippage (there was a landslide which occurred further west on Beacon Hill several years ago when part of somebody’s garden and wall, and several large boulders fell away), and the houses on Perfect View are directly below.

  • Cracks have grown wider in the past few weeks, up near the top lamppost but also close to the steps at the bottom of the path
