Safety hazard in Catchback Lane

In the centre of Catchback Lane a footpath runs off to the west to join the Marriott's Way (it is the one flooded in wet weather). Where the two paths join there was a stile in a fence approached by a flight of wooden steps. This has somehow been destroyed, with timbers standing up in the air, like debris from an explosion (as at 9 May 05.00). The county council has been informed.
 
Please take very great care if you wish to attempt to cross where the stile was, particularly if you are climbing the stair up from the footpath.
