SHOPPERS at Sainsbury’s Kidlington supermarket should beware when walking along the central walkway through the car park to the main shop entrance.
The pathway is riddled with protruding pavings and I have witnessed several elderly shoppers trip and only just save themselves from a nasty fall.
After reporting the problem to Sainsbury’s head office a fortnight ago, and despite their promise of action, on my latest visit I again witnessed a lady tripping up.
She only saved herself from injury by grabbing the rails around the trolley park.
The supermarket’s deputy manager was vague about what to do but stated he needed an order from head office to sanction repairs.
So I have reported the problem to the Health & Safety Executive as it is Sainsbury’s responsibility to provide safe pathways for its customers.
I sincerely hope that no-one takes a serious fall and gets injured and urge Sainsbury’s to act promptly to tackle the problem, to ensure this does not occur.
