Pensioner spent weeks in hospital after falling off kerb no one can see

A man said that "something needs to be done" after his father-in-law fell off a kerb and broke his hip.

Paul Foster said his 82-year-old father-in-law was walking across Moor Street in Ormskirk on May 5 when he fell. He had not seen the drop and while he was being helped by staff from the Queen's Head a woman walked off the kerb, fell, and, broke her arm.

This is just one of many incidents reported of people injuring themselves on Moor Street. Paul said that the reason so many accidents have taken place is because the new kerb is a similar colour to the road and so people don't see the drop.
