Trip to the Shops

We got off a great start this Saturday with a large number of people signing our Trip to the Shops petition about the state of Winchester’s pavements, including this group of Morris Men (Christmas Clog) who were collecting funds for Naomi House. Presumably you’re even more likely to trip in the centre of Winchester if you’re dancing rather than walking…

What was most concerning was the number of people who told us they, or a close relative, had needed medical care following a fall on Winchester streets. There was a particularly lethal trip hazard by some cable covers next to Barclays which we reported as a top priority.

There’s a webpage that lets you report trip hazards and similar problems on the Hampshire County Council website.
