There appears to be subsidence under the pavement.

Reported via desktop in the Pavement damage category anonymously at 12:54, Monday 13 April 2026

Sent to Bath and North East Somerset Council 6 minutes later. Council ref: 9284728.

Some years ago, a hole appeared in the pavement. This was reported and the pavement was repaired. In recent weeks, the area that was repaired has started to sink. The tarmac surface is stating to crack and there is a definite height difference between pavement and the concrete step. There is a concern that subsidence has occurred under the pavement causing the surface to sink.

  • The subsidence is deteriorating. A meter rule inserted into exposed openings indicates that the void beneath the pavement is between 0.5m and 0.9m deep. The subsidence is a health and safety hazard to pedestrians and to delivery, milk and post persons delivering to No 14 Horseshoe Walk. Can bollards or a barrier be provided to alert pedestrians to the subsidence in advance of a repair being effected.
