Council bosses have apologised to a disabled man after contractors completing the £6m Swinton Greenway scheme left debris in the street which caused him to fall. Glenn Kennedy, 57, suffers from osteoarthritis and uses two sticks to walk.
On Sunday, May 22, he and his wife Lisa in their car to their home in Folly Lane, Swinton. There are double yellow lines outside their terraced home so they park around the corner on South Avenue.
After Glenn got out of the car, he got his sticks caught on one of the small lumps of tarmac which had been left by the workmen. "Luckily, Lisa managed to catch me and that prevented me from hitting the ground," said Glenn, who is waiting for a double hip replacement operation.
