Sent to Hounslow Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4752288.

I am writing to bring to your attention a highly concerning issue that occurred during the heavy rainfall yesterday, July 4th 2023. My 62-year-old wife was unfortunate enough to slip and fall on the pavement due to the rampant overgrown weeds on Penwerris Ave. This incident resulted in injury and pain for her.

It is distressing to observe the sorry state of affairs regarding the maintenance of Penwerris Ave. The neglected and overgrown weeds have not only become a nuisance but have now escalated to a severe danger. This incident serves as a clear indication that immediate action must be taken to address this hazardous situation.

I implore you to take this matter seriously and promptly initiate the necessary steps to rectify the situation. The safety of pedestrians, especially vulnerable individuals such as the elderly, must be a top priority. Regular maintenance and upkeep of public spaces are crucial to ensuring the well-being of community members.

Furthermore, I urge you to conduct a comprehensive review of the maintenance practices employed within your jurisdiction. It is imperative to ensure that such oversights do not recur in the future, as they pose a significant risk to public safety and tarnish the reputation of our neighborhood.

I kindly request that you acknowledge this complaint and provide me with a detailed plan of action to address the issue. Additionally, please inform me of the measures that will be taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will handle this complaint with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.
