Concrete slabs uneven/broken in multiple places
Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6554398.
The concrete slabs outside Box Makers Yard on New Kingsley Road, on the Mokoko coffee shop side, are uneven and/or broken in multiple places - see the attached photos for a couple of examples of this.
In reality, there are numerous examples like this all around both Box Makers Yard buildings. Can the whole area be looked at please?
If you need to prioritise, please prioritise the section of New Kingsley Road in front of both Box Makers Yard buildings, as it is horrible in multiple places.
It would probably make sense to use a different surface here - perhaps a nice coloured asphalt - as this issue with uneven slabs and bricks is going to be a constant problem.

The last comment from Bristol City Council was "This issue requires further investigation. We'll provide updates on the outcome in due course."
The issue does not require further investigation. The issue simply requires to be fixed.
Many months have gone by since this issue was originally reported, which makes one wonder whether there is any point in reporting any issue in Bristol on this site.

This report has been open since early October 2024 - almost 5 months ago - though in reality the problem has existed for a lot longer.
The issue can be split in two: 1) A small part of the affected area was remediated by the council’s contractor at some point last year, but the problem has already reoccurred. This is what is going to happen if you use concrete blocks as a pavement surface in places where there is a high frequency of taxi and delivery vehicle visits, a shortage of places to wait, and no physical barriers to stop these vehicles driving onto the pavement. It is a design flaw which needs a permanent fix. 2) All around the Box Makers Yard residential buildings and the office buildings on Avon Street there are large swathes of uneven concrete blocks. There is a similar issue in the loading bay outside Box Makers Yard, where a skip was previously located. A contractor appeared many months ago and painted white marks around _some_, though by no means all, of the affected areas (including the loading bay), but no-one has ever come back to fix the issue. Meanwhile, it has gotten worse. It is both a physical hazard and aesthetically disgusting.
(In case anyone is minded to mention the roadworks currently in the area as a reason not to fix the various issues described in this report, the roadworks are located in the road, not on the pavements or in the aforementioned loading bay, so the issues could still be fixed now.)
