Bristol Water has been accused of installing a 'trip hazard' in the pavement outside people's homes. A new stop-tap cover was installed in Melbourne Drive in Chipping Sodbury, which has been left sticking out of the ground.
A neighbour, who asked to remain anonymous, said work was carried out on Saturday (December 17). He said it was "astonished" by the state it was left in, and is concerned that someone could trip and fall because of it.
He claimed the hazard is right outside bungalows where elderly people live. He told Bristol Live: "It is sticking up at least two inches above the pavement. The pavement surface has new tarmac, but the cover is way above it.
