Water meter boxes are raised and causing issues, No 47 nearly caused me to fall, but hurt my big toe and I'm very concerned for elderly people. It is about 2cm off the ground. The one outside my house causes issues because the pavement has big dips in it and then as the car comes up it rips the paintwork at the front. It also is a health and safety hazard because of so many different levels when you're putting the bins out.

Sent to Gloucestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6193589.

No 47 in front of the big fir tree and No 48 next door. The drop down kerb is already out of sync with the driveways but these issues are very worrying. Thank you for your time.
