The residents of Castlegate request an urgent assessment of the suitability of the pedestrian footpath and roadway at Castlegate, Richmond and its priority for repair / resurfacing works.
The condition of both has deteriorated significantly over the past few years and the entire footpath on both sides is now highly dangerous to use.
We regularly trip on the multiple broken, cracked, loose and uneven areas while out walking. At night it is even worse due to bad lighting and unseen trip hazards. There are several elderly residents in the street who struggle constantly and who have also fallen.
We implore Richmond council to please fix this urgently and advise when we can expect resurfacing to bring the footpath up to correct & safe standards

Seeing the count climb this quickly captures exactly how much this street has been neglected for too long. My feet ache just thinking about the state of these sidewalks, but knowing so many neighbors feel this same frustration keeps me moving forward.

I am 94 years old and have very limited mobility. The uneven pavement is a hazard for me and makes even walking the short distance to the kerb very difficult, as my Walker tends to snag
Terrible for baby buggies, dangerous for children's scooters and bicycles and a major hazard for our elderly residents. We fully support this petition.
I suggest the relevant employee responsible for upkeep of Highways and Pavements reads 'The Highway Act 1980' before a fall causing injury leads to litigation.
18 Castlegate.
Our pavements are a disgrace.
I fully support this petition. Castlegate pavements are a health and safety issue that should have been addressed years ago. Old and infirm pedestrians are regularly tripping on the cracked and lumpy paving. Please address this.
This is dangerous, I’ve seen many older people trip and one ended up in hospital.

This is the second time in three years we have asked the council to re surface. Patchwork tarmac is not good enough. We need proper paving stones as in the surrou ding streets.
