    This stile has now become an accident risk! The supporting log has completely detached & fallen over. The stile is just hanging, waiting to eventually collapse when someone puts enough weight on it.

    This stile has still not been repaired. I reported this on 8th June, it is now 23rd July. A member of the public dragged a stone block from the hedge & pushed it under the stile to stop it collapsing. This is not a repair, just an attempt to prevent an accident.

  • This stile has STILL not been fixed. It was first reported on 8th June, it is now 14th September. The blocks that a passerby pushed under the unsupported end have stopped it collapsing. But these were taken from the other end of the stile, where they were keeping it stable. Now that end is getting wobbly too. Also the crack along the plank is getting bigger.
