The fence posts to the west of the footpath (area circled in red in my uploaded map) are broken and the fence is only held upright by the overgrowth of Ivy covering that part of the fence. That part of the fence is a continuation of the fence that extends the length of the footpath, from 24 Bristol Way past Nos. 2 and 4 Lafford Court. Those properties own and maintain their individual sections of that fence, but it is not known who has responsibility for maintaining this the final section.
