'Avoiding all of the hazards and uneven flagstones is like playing dodgems. On broken footpaths, it’s actually quite dangerous when the wheels come off the floor.'
A Lincoln wheelchair-user says she is scared of navigating the broken pavements in her neighbourhood.
Lincolnshire County Council say they are aware of the problems, but are having to prioritise the worst-affected areas due to funding cuts.Mandy said: “I have to pre-plan every journey, and know which pavements are safe to use and where I can cross the road.“On broken footpaths, it’s actually quite dangerous when the wheels come off the floor. They’re so high you can easily tip over. It’s quite scary.
“Because I have mental health issues, going out is really important to me. I don’t want to be confined to the house.” A spokesperson for Lincolnshire County Council said: “We are very sympathetic to the issues raised and we are doing everything that we can to make good the footpaths as soon as possible. This area is somewhere that we are aware of as needing attention and we do have it on the future plans for work to address what needs to be done.
