Engine dene is still in a dangerous state

Reported via desktop in the Surface Condition category anonymously at 20:18, Tuesday 3 February 2026

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8832236.

After reporting this many times nothing has been done to make this busy thoroughfare safer. This week (in darkness & pouring rain) I fell on leaves covering a pothole & ended up with a suspected broken wrist which fortunately was just badly swollen & bruised. The whole pathway used to be more than a metre wide but due to neglect is barely wide enough for 2 people never mind if you have a pram or dog. The matter is not helped by a 2 metre wide Leylandi hedge overhanging part of the pathway & tree root damage further along. Action needed now before there is a serious injury .
