Report of degrading pavement, unsightly weeds, water ingress
Sent to Aberdeenshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 974179.
I am reporting the poor condition of the pavement outside my property.
The pavement surface has deteriorated significantly and is uneven, with numerous weeds growing through the cracks. The damaged surface is allowing rainwater to collect and drain towards my property rather than away from it.
As a result, I am experiencing water ingress into my ground-floor bedroom, which I believe is being caused or made worse by the condition of the pavement outside. This is causing damage and is a matter of concern.
I have taken photographs showing:
The degraded condition of the pavement. The weed growth through the surface. The areas where water collects. The resulting water ingress affecting my property. This is something I have reported continuously for around three years and is well documented
I would be grateful if the pavement could be inspected as soon as possible and any necessary repairs carried out. Please let me know when an inspection is likely to take place and whether you require copies of the photographs or any further information.
Thank you for your attention to this matter
