Tree roots pushing up and breaking paving slabs on PORTLAND AVENUE opposite side of road to number 12 & 14.

Sent to London Borough of Bexley less than a minute later. Report ref: 3027512.
This has been getting worse (may be due to rain) but the roots of the tree are are pushing up paving slabs and breaking them causing a raise in the slabs with broken parts. I've seen a couple of times people trip as they have come passed. One a pregnant lady which could of been a lot worse. Someone will without doubt hurt themselves if something is not done. Especially of a night time when the damage is less obvious to people walking passed. The house on the corner (Penshurst) that connects with Portland will soon have damage to its wall as well as i can see the roots getting closer which again will also cause a problem/danger to people in the future. The pavement will only get worse as the roots grow so wanted to make you aware so that something can be done asap before someone gets hurt as it will soon be getting darker earlier.

Again getting worse. Leaves fallen due to time of year covering the damage making it unbelievably easy for someone to not notice and have a nasty accident.
