PLEASE could I highlight the state of the footpaths and lack of dropped kerbs.

Since having a stroke and several transient ischaemic attacks, I have had to get a mobility scooter to enable me to get about.

Since going out on my scooter, I have noticed how bad and very uneven the footpaths are.

I have also noticed that there are no dropped kerbs at all in New Church Road and Church Road in Doffcocker. I have great difficulty in getting off the footpaths, because the kerbs are too high in places.

Bolton Council has spent hundreds of pounds on the humps in Church Road and also putting in dropped kerbs at bus stops.

So please, Bolton Council, think about people who have difficulty getting about and help us by repairing the footpaths and putting in dropped kerbs.
