Can't you sue the council for thousands of pounds? Obviously, as well as the physical injury, you are now mentally scarred due to the humiliation.

jampots · 18/07/2006 16:32

see YG - sue the bastards!

MerlinsBeard · 18/07/2006 16:33

sue them. my dad did, didn't get much but was about a grand. take pictures of the hole and of your injuries and you should prob gop to A&E or GP too so that there is an official record of ur injuries

CarlyP · 18/07/2006 16:40

Go for it!

southeastastra · 18/07/2006 21:03

oh don't sue that's why our council tax is so huge (maybe )

CarlyP · 19/07/2006 07:41

get yourself to the dr's, so he can note your injuries, take pics and get a solicitor.

we all pay alot on council tax.............therfor they should be keeping the pavements etc 'safely usable'. they are not, so go for it.

southeastastra · 19/07/2006 08:25

compensation culture awaits us all

CarlyP · 19/07/2006 08:27

and why not, its their fault for not keeping pavement in good repair.

southeastastra · 19/07/2006 08:35

they can't do everything, there aren't enough staff

CarlyP · 19/07/2006 08:40

but thats not 'our'problem. we pay taxes, and if they want to spend the money on silly 'art' projects etc its upto them, they have to plan what comes first.

southeastastra · 19/07/2006 09:11

maybe they didn't know the hole was there?? has someone reported it?

this is why we have rubbish parks and playgrounds - councils live under the shadow of being sued - and communities do belong to all of us

CarlyP · 19/07/2006 09:45

oohh, ill just pop out and get my cement to fill the hole in then..........councils spend too much money on other useless stuff, thats y we dont have decent parks.

southeastastra · 19/07/2006 14:51

i'm just saying maybe they don't know it is there!
