The pavement slabs have been cracked leaving a c50cm hole in the pavement which is causing a danger to pedestrians using the street, especially disabled members of public and wheelchair users. Currently a small sheet of wooden board has been placed on top of the hole, but this is causing a further trip hazard for pedestrians. Please can you fix this as soon as possible? Thank you
