Glen Eden man man vows to get footpath fixed on behalf of late friend
Hi neighbours.
Before his death in July, 75-year-old Glen Eden resident Kevin Jones used to take his dog, Tia, for a quick stroll around the block on his mobility scooter, sometimes up to four times a day.
However, Jones’ mood would spiral once they reached a patch of uneven pavement on Glengarry Rd, where half the footpath slopes onto an adjacent driveway.
Jones, who died suddenly at home in July, would have to slow down considerably, lean to one side and put his foot out to prevent his mobility scooter from tipping over. Despite this, he tipped and hurt himself multiple times.
Bruce Mackinnon, whose house the pavement is outside, said he was sad his “dear mate Kevin” had died without seeing the footpath fixed, as he had been really stressed about other people’s safety.
“Kevin may not be here now but I fully intend to get this unsafe footpath fixed for the sake of others."
