£50,000 Council bill for pavement trip compensation
Latest figures uncovered by the Liberal Democrats show that Bedford Borough Council paid out nearly £50,000 in three years in compensation to people who tripped on pavements. The large figure represents only a fraction of the overall compensation bill for local taxpayers, as it does not include payments made by the former County Council. The County Council was responsible for maintaining most heavily-used pavements, and the Borough Council's bill could rocket after it took on responsibility for these in April this year. County councils and unitary authorities have paid out an average of nearly £1m each in compensation for pavement trips in the last five years.
