Location: Public pavement outside 59 Colwood Gardens, Wimbledon, London, SW19 2DS, specifically the three slabs directly in front of the property boundary.

Issue: Three pavement slabs are uneven, and one slab is loose and moves when stepped on. This creates a clear trip hazard for pedestrians. The movement appears to be caused by a failed or sunken base beneath the slabs.

Impact: The uneven and moving slab poses a significant risk of trips and falls, especially for elderly residents, children, and anyone walking at night. This is a high‑risk situation as I am currently pregnant, and the instability of the slabs makes the pavement unsafe to use.

Request: Please inspect and repair the affected slabs as soon as possible to make the pavement safe.
