    The fix appears to have worked temporarily as now, due to the sloping road surface, shallow curb and the direction of water/silt naturally draining in this area it's apparent that the issue will be on going and the path will continue to become inaccessible until further action is taken to prevent a build up obstructing pedestrian access.

    The path is still impassable due to sitting water and thick sludge. When there is heavy rainfall the adjacent road also floods.
