# Pavement - Damaged, 19 Whitfield Street, Sumner, Christchurch 8081, New Zealand

Sumner, Christchurch · filed 19 March 2025 · report 6052334

> Footpath outside 19 Whitfield Street has become dangerous again (see 1158469). The tree roots are cracking the asphalt and there are pronounced ridges present too. I know of several children who have come off their scooters and skateboards due to the condition of the path and received injuries. The type of tree is unsuitable for a berm this narrow and I am concerned this will be an ongoing issue that will get worse (ridges are more widespread than in 2020 pics). Root barrier or removal needed.
