Shennan Walkway Mount Druitt Needs Drastic Footpath Improvements - Potential Incident - Health and Safety Issue!

A major footpath used by hundreds of  community members every day use Shennan Walkway (as per Google Maps) to and from the main Road of Luxford Road, Mount Druitt and to their homes in North Mount Druitt.

Patch work  has been done in done place as a ban-aid affect, yet  there doesn't seem to be any initiatives from Blacktown City Council to provide improvement in this major walkway.

 A great walk way has been engineered to be constricted to make it  accessible for community members with prams and disabilities, yet the majority of the community members make their own  track breaking off from the concrete path - and the soil has  in the meantime  been diminishing away from the track, creating deeper steps in a muddy and unpleasant area.

 We don't know how often Health and Safety Officers from Council  audit these areas and  would safely walk on the path (without heavy boots) and test the condition for community members!

 Just thinking of the lawsuits that could arise for not proper maintenance of  Council property!

This is the start to  Blacktown City Council's Bike Plan

You will see in the fare distance that is the improvement made on the Earl Street, Footpaths and Cycle Ways!
