As summer gives way to autumn, we're likely to see a return of wetter weather and the first leaves beginning to fall. While it's a welcome change after the recent heat, it can make paths and walkways a little more slippery than they have been over the summer months.
Wet leaves can quickly build up on paths, while rain can make surfaces such as paving slabs and manhole covers more slippery than they appear. Cracks or uneven areas in paths can also be easier to miss when conditions are wet.
If you're out and about, taking a little extra care can help prevent slips and trips. Looking where you're going, taking your time on wet surfaces and saving that text message until you've stopped walking can all make a difference.
And if you spot a damaged path or an area that could do with attention, please let us know. It helps us keep our neighbourhoods safe and enjoyable for everyone.
As the seasons begin to change, paths and walkways can become a little more unpredictable.
