The reporter’s words

I would like to make a complain about the rut in the road outside 116 Selwyn Street, Somerfield. My husband uses a power wheelchair and will often use the side of the road where cyclists would ride. On Thursday he was riding with our two small children and hit the rut. This caused him to be ejected from his chair and smash his face on the road. He had to be helped by passers by, this has caused him extreme distress and our children were terrified. His injuries are mild concussion and a broken nose, he is currently studying a Masters Degree and has had to request extentions on his current very important assignments due in the next few weeks. He has been dodging ruts and uneven pathways for years as a manual wheelchair user, now the roads themselves are a danger to all types of wheel users. The poor maintenence of our local roads have caused a significant injury to him and we want to make an official complaint. Please can someone contact him on 0273255088
