    Is it your footpath or is it a council asset ?

    If it’s council I would notify them of the risk of injury to pedestrians and have them deal with it.

    The couple of times I have reported trip hazards of council footpaths they have ground them down within a couple of days.

    thanks, droog

    Yes it is the council foot path.

    Bit I'd like to use it on my cement and brick work being lifted by the council tree roots.

    So hoping someone might be able to suggest a disc/cup.
    Thanks,

    Flexovit grinding cup available at the Green Shed

    If brick work is being lifted it will continue to lift, its better to dig down and cut the root off.
    Dont know about your council and how savage they are but any work on public assets generally require a permit and closing of the footpath while the work is done. I recommend leaving the footpath itself to council.
