People are tripping on raised paving slabs, brickettes and infill repairs, some have been seriously injured and need care and expensive treatment in hospital. 

Some visitors, residents, elderly, and disabled are deterred from using some streets as the risk of injury is very high. 

East Sussex County Council is entrusted by us to provide a safe environment for us all to live in, and that includes sound pavements. 

We call upon East Sussex County Council to allocate funding for a planned programme of improvements to Eastbourne pavements which are currently in a neglected condition and getting worse.
