Leaves!

Our council is hopeless. This is what the pavements are like where we live - treacherous - especially for elderly / those with mobility problems. The leaves are wet and slippery since it rains most days.. Grids are blocked in the roads, causing rainfall to build up in places. 
In many parts you have to walk in the road since the leaves are so deep.
The daftest part about it that the leaf sweeper came to our area before the leaves began to fall and has not been since.
Grrrr.
