Very dangerous footpath and safer to walk on road than footpath

Reported via mobile in the Damaged Footway category anonymously at 23:59, Thursday 23 January 2025

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1183277-C8M2B1.

At the entrance to Limetree Place (where the footpath meets Oakleigh Way by house number 91) the footpath is so slopped that I am unable to push my buggy on it to get around the corner and it is safer to go on the road to get around the corner than to try and push the buggy and risk toppling over. My daughter has also started cycling and she has toppled over as the footpath is completely wonky. All along Limetree Place that footpath is wonky and difficult for people with buggies, toddler bikes, mobility supports. The footpaths in general along Oakleigh Way have lots of tiles sticking up and my daughter has fallen over on a number of occasions but this particular intersection between Limetree Place and Oakleigh Way is particularly dangerous. I would appreciate if something could be done to rectify it as I would prefer not to have to walk on the road with my two young children
